There are a total of 20 books in the "Fighting on the Sea" series, which is known as the greatest historical novel of the 20th century. "The Captain" is the second book in the series. The original author, Patrick O'Brian (1914-2000), with his astonishing erudition, shows the historical background, social scene, naval life and other aspects of the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars. He has precise descriptions of ship operations, naval terminology, tactical strategies, etc., Making readers feel as if they are actually there.
Currently, there are only Chinese translations of the first "Captain and Commander" and the tenth book "Polar Expedition" published by Yilin Publishing House in 2007 and 2008 respectively. The vast number of fans of naval battles in the Age of Sail in China still have not had the opportunity to see the other 18 books. The author is not talented and is willing to do his best.
