Apunta't a LibraryThing per saber si aquest llibre et pot agradar. No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. This is the second half of the adventure begun in C.S. Forester's previous novel about British sea captain Horatio Hornblower, "A Ship of the Line." While not quite as spellbinding as that one, it's still a splendid book. I'm more than halfway through the Hornblowers, and I don't want them to end. This one spends more time on land than at sea, detailing Hornblower's adventures after being captured by the French at the end of the previous book. Hornblower is a wonderful character, his self-doubts and painful stoicism giving color and richness to what would have been a pretty wonderful character anyway. Highly recommended, like all the Hornblower novels. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Forced to surrender his ship, the Sutherland, after a long and bloody battle, Captain Horatio Hornblower now bides his time as a prisoner in a French fortress. Within days he and his first lieutenant, Bush, who was crippled in the last fight, are to be taken to Paris to be tried on trumped-up charges of violating the laws of war, and most probably executed as part of Napoleon's attempt to rally the warweary empire behind him. Even if Hornblower escapes this fate and somehow finds his way back to England, he will face court-martial for his surrender of a British ship. As fears for his life and his reputation compete in his mind with worries about his pregnant wife and his possibly widowed lover, the indomitable captain imetierntly awaits the chance to make his next move.
