  • Hornblower's Ships
    Names of Ships from the Hornblower Books. Introduction Hornblower’s biographer, C S Forester, wrote eleven books covering the most active and dramatic episodes of the life of his subject. In addition, he also wrote a Hornblower “Companion” and the so called three “lost” short stories. There were some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded. However, the books and stories that were published describe not only what Hornblower did and thought about his life and career but also mentioned in varying levels of detail the people and the ships that he encountered. Hornblower of course served on many ships but also fought with and against them, captured them, sank them or protected them besides just being aware of them. Of all the ships mentioned, a handful of them would have been highly significant for him. The Indefatigable was the ship on which Midshipman and then Acting Lieutenant Hornblower mostly learnt and developed his skills as a seaman and as a fighting man. This learning continued with his experiences on the Renown as a lieutenant. His first commands, apart from prizes taken, were on the Hotspur and the Atropos. Later as a full captain, he took the Lydia round the Horn to the Pacific coast of South America and his first and only captaincy of a ship of the line was on the Sutherland. He first flew his own flag on the Nonsuch and sailed to the Baltic on her. In later years his ships were smaller as befitted the nature of the tasks that fell to him.

  • 1 WILLIAM BUSH – a LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General
    WILLIAM BUSH – A LITERARY BIOGRAPHY Annual General Meeting, C.S. Forester Society, September 2017 Poor Bush. Hornblower’s devoted follower, who loses first his foot and later his life supporting his leader. The narrow-minded, unimaginative, but capable and loyal officer who passed for lieutenant on the strength of seamanship, despite his weakness in navigation. Last year, in Stockholm, I attempted to prove that Hornblower was an actual historical figure – not just a literary character based on a British captain or captains, but a real person. And I relied in part on the powerful proof that he was the subject of a scholarly biography by the respected C. Northcote Parkinson, which has actual footnotes; and that he was portrayed in a movie by Gregory Peck, who never lies. But today, I propose to do the opposite for William Bush. I propose to examine how Bush’s character developed through the Hornblower books; and what Forester thought of him; and, finally, to discover through the growth of his character the best order to read the books. And, as a hint, I’m going to discuss this by reviewing Bush’s career as it was written, not (so to speak) as it was lived. Early Character Development - BTQ, SOL, FC We first meet William Bush on the quarterdeck of the Lydia as it’s about to land on the coast of Nicaragua. The perfect landfall has nothing to do with Bush’s skill, or lack of skill – Hornblower had done the navigation himself, and he hadn’t even taken his first lieutenant into his confidence about the destination.

  • Le Voyage De L'annie Marble
    27. Cecil Scott Forester et « le voyage de l’Annie Marble » SERGE AILLERY Cecil Scott Forester, père d’Horatio Hornblower, fréquenta dans les années vingt le réseau de nos voies navigables. Serge Aillery nous raconte la descente qu’il fit de la Loire, en 1928, à bord de l’Annie Marble. Quand le futur auteur de « Hornblower » et de « l’Odyssée de l’African Queen » s’imprègne de la Loire. 1 Dès les premiers jours de beau temps, on voit sur le fleuve apparaître, les premiers aventuriers qui s’élancent sur leur canoë ou leur bateau pour en faire la descente. Faire la descente de la Loire. Une sorte de Graal, un but ultime, comme pour le mar- cheur, atteindre le mont Gerbier de Jonc ou St Jacques de Compostelle. A défaut d’un exploit sportif, c’est pour beaucoup, comme Lewis et Clark, trouver le passage du Nord- Ouest, leur voyage aux confins de l’Amé- rique. Ou tout simplement un voyage inté- rieur, introspectif au contact de la nature, un Cecil Scott Forester et sa femme Katheleen à côté voyage initiatique, une rencontre avec le mo- de leur bateau l’« Annie Marble » sur la Loire (Coll. tif, comme pour mon ami Jean Luc Hiettre part.) le co-auteur de notre bande dessinée « Le Grand Fleuve ».

There were of course some years and activities in Hornblower’s life that were not written about before the biographer’s death and therefore not recorded.

In the course of his life Hornblower came across many men and women from all levels and backgrounds. Various members of royalty and members of the aristocracy were encountered but the range of people extended from politicians, senior naval officers and soldiers to a multitude of seamen and various other “ordinary” people. Many individuals from other countries crossed his path. The three principal women in his life, his wives Maria and Barbara, and his mistress, Marie, are comprehensively portrayed as are the two men who gave him long and devoted service, Bush and Brown. Throughout the books and short stories, Mr Forester in most cases named the people who formed part of Hornblower’s life, however indirectly in some cases. The intention of the list of names that follows is to provide a helpful reference and background for the many keen and well-read followers of Hornblower.

  • HORNBLOWER FIRST to LAST Anachronisms from Beat to Quarters to Hornblower and the Hotspur
    HORNBLOWER FIRST TO LAST Anachronisms from Beat To Quarters to Hornblower and the Hotspur Ronald W. Meister Presented at the Annual General Meeting of the C.S. Forester Society Brest, France, September 2018 I’d like to talk today about something that distinguishes C.S. Forester from other British writers of fiction; something that adds particular pleasure to reading Hornblower as a whole chronological series. It seems that many British authors have difficulty maintaining a consistent chronology for their characters as the authors and their characters age. The most extreme example may be another nautical novelist writing about the Napoleonic Wars, Richard Patrick Russ -- otherwise known as Patrick O’Brian. Mr. O’Brian ran into a very big problem with his series, because he so quickly got up to 1813 that he had to set the next 11 books all in the same year before he ran out of Napoleon. So he had to invent a series of fictional years, like 1813A and B, to fit in all the action. Then we have Arthur Conan Doyle. He has his own fan club, too, the Baker Street Irregulars, and I can report from attending one of their annual meetings that they are very intense. But Conan Doyle got tired of his hero, and he somehow thought that writing science fiction and proving the existence of fairies were his best work. So he prematurely bumped off his hero, and thereby infuriated his readers. To placate them, he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles, but he had to call it a “memoir” of Sherlock Holmes, set in 1889, two years before Holmes’s apparent death.

  • Historical Hermeneutics in Horatio Hornblower
    HISTORICAL HERMENEUTICS IN HORATIO HORNBLOWER Ronald W. Meister Presented at the Annual General Meeting of the C.S. Forester Society and the Meeting of the Horatio Hornblower Society of Sweden – Stockholm, September 6, 2016 Good evening. My name is Ron Meister. Thank you to Ludwig and to our Swedish hosts for arranging this wonderful conference, and for allowing me a few minutes to speak to you. In real life I’m a lawyer in New York. I’ve been reading C.S. Forester for over fifty years. When I was in the United States Navy, the only books I had on my desk were the paperback editions of Hornblower, which I used for legal research. When I learned that there were five Hornblower short stories not in the books, and one of them could be found only in the British Library, I had to come to London and become a member of the British Library to read it. And to do that, I had to convince the Library that I was a scholar. So I’m happy to tell you that while to most people I am just another New York lawyer, to this honorable group I am a certified Hornblower scholar. I think an explanation is in order for the very pedantic title of this talk. And it is only polite to our hosts to translate “hermeneutics” into Swedish. So I did what you are supposed to do to answer any question – I went on Google Translate and put in “hermeneutics.” And I found out that the Swedish word for hermeneutics is – “hermeneutics.” So now I have to translate hermeneutics in Swedish back into English.

  • Going Down the Loire by Serge Aillery (Translation by Lawrie Brewer)
    Going down the Loire Go down the Loire…. As soon as the first days of fine weather arrive you see the first adventurers appear, dashing down to their canoes or boats. Going down the Loire for them is a sort of Holy Grail – just as for the walker the ultimate goal is to reach Mount Gerbier de Jonc or St Jacques de Compostelle. For others like Lewis and Clark, it was to find the Northwest Passage – two American explorers journeying to the limits of America. But perhaps also – as it proved for my friend Jean Luc Hiettre the co-author of '' Le Grand Fleuve '' - it is simply a trip through the interior of a country, an introspective contact with nature, an initiatory journey. This is a meeting with the waters of the river, the eddies, the bridges, the thresholds, the quasi-primitive bivouac on an island where you hear the sounds of nocturnal wildlife far from shore; far from the tumult of the cities, you perceive the indefinable lights of the dawn of time. These adventurers rank among the many travellers making their way up or down the Loire. Reports and messages, different texts and recollections like those in Turner's notebooks, are numerous; they appear in ‘Lagarde and Michard’ or in anthologies; others are more modest notes, artistic memories about a magnificent rafting by a group of tourists, perhaps an elaborate chronicle like Bernard Olivier’s book "Aventures en Loire". But many notebooks remain undiscovered; a dormant heritage, here! The following example however, if not entirely unknown, is certainly too little known.

Bush's role in the novels is that of Hornblower's best friend and second-in-command. Any author who was held in such famously high esteem by no less a literary legend than the late Ernest Hemingway is clearly well worth reading, and that is eminently true in this case. However, Hornblower "biographer" C. Related Searches. At the resolution of the novel a final section is added, set several months in the future, back in Britain during the Peace of Amiens Add to Wishlist. But it is the last segment of the novel that really caught my attention: subversive isn't often a word that springs to mind when describing a swashbuckling tale of high adventure, but Forester certainly doesn't shy away from shedding light on the gross unfairness of a society that saw fit to promote the wealthy and well-connected while able officers of Hornblower's merit were left to languish on paltry peacetime wages once their services were no longer required.

Infertility never leaves you no matter what the outcome is - it does shape you Randine Lewis offers Having cheerfully patted myself in my last review but one that I had made the right decision to read the Hornblower series in chronological rather than publication order, I now have to withdraw the self-congratulatory pat on the back.

  • Hornblower [Pdf]
    Books Worth Revisiting: To Sail the Ocean Blue, Part I--Hornblower A popular genre of fiction is naval fiction, usually focusing on Great Britain’s Royal Navy during the Age of Sail in the 18th and 19th centuries. The period “when Britannia ruled the waves” has given rise to some great series of novels, some of which will be featured in this column. The gold standard of all naval fiction series is the Hornblower adventures written by C. S. Forester (1899-1966). Horatio Hornblower is featured in eleven novels and some short stories. Forester did not write his novels in chronological order—his first Hornblower novel, The Happy Return (U.S. title, Beat to Quarters), was written in 1937 and featured a mature Captain Hornblower in his late thirties. The character caught on, and thereafter, Forester would move back and forth in Hornblower’s life, writing novels to fill in gaps in the intrepid naval hero’s adventures. Hornblower is an interesting character study. He is all the things one expects of a naval hero: brave, resourceful, dutiful, and very lucky. He also is subject to seasickness, even in the calmest of waters. Being totally tone deaf, music means absolutely nothing to him and is often a source of irritation. His greatest delight while at sea is to have sea water hosed over him for his morning shower. And women find him irresistible—much to his mystification because he doesn’t consider himself very handsome. All of the Hornblower novels are available on digital cartridge or for download from the BARD site.
