«La patente de corso» is the historical naval adventure novel by Patrick O'Brian, published by Edhasa in hardback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Jack Aubrey, dismissed from the Navy for a crime he did not commit, returns to sea with the frigate Surprise, bought by Stephen Maturin for privateering in the English Channel. His victories may restore his commission, though to do so he enters politics, while Maturin travels to Sweden to save his marriage and experiments with laudanum.
La patente de corso is the twelfth novel in the Aubrey-Maturin series, translated from English by Aleida Lama Montes de Oca and published in the Narrativas Históricas collection.
For readers of historical fiction and naval adventure, especially followers of the Aubrey-Maturin series.
Patrick O'Brian, born Richard Patrick Russ, was an English novelist and translator, best known for his Aubrey–Maturin series. These sea novels are set in the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars and centre on the friendship of the English naval captain Jack Aubrey and the Irish–Catalan physician Stephen Maturin. The 20-novel series, the first of which is Master and Commander, is known for its well-researched and highly detailed portrayal of early 19th-century life, as well as its authentic and evocative language. A partially finished 21st novel in the series was published posthumously containing facing pages of handwriting and typescript.
