From Amazon.com

Shipwrecked! When Captain Aubrey and his crew go aground on a remote island, they labor to construct a seaworthy schooner from the wreckage (taking breaks, of course, to play cricket.) Their subsequent adventures lead them to the dreaded penal colony at Botany Bay, and then, as always, back to sea. --Ce texte provient de la Paperback édition.


From Publishers Weekly

Readers will welcome the reappearance here of elegant Stephen Maturin, one hero of O'Brian's excellent 19th-century seafarer series. Maturin is a ship's doctor, naturalist, spy, musician, ex-opium eater and, we're reminded here, terrific swordsman. His "brother" is Capt. Jack Aubrey, RN, MP, popular hero for his success against Napoleon, less introspective but as subtly drawn as Maturin and as avid a musician. Last seen in The Thirteen-Gun Salute the two were shipwrecked on a barren isle in the South China Sea. After a bitter fight with Dyaks and Malays they reach Batavia, where Governor Raffles gives Aubrey the eponymic Dutch sloop ("a tight, sweet, newly-coppered, broad-buttocked litle ship, a solace to any man's heart") to continue his circumnavigation of the globe. As usual the chief joys are in the details of the food, drink and clothes of the era, with those of the rain forests, kangaroos and platypuses added here. On the other hand, early Sydney's squalor is matched by its brutality.

5.0étoiles sur 5 More fun from Patrick O'Brian, Juil 2 2007
Par Howard Smith (Victoria B.C.) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Nutmeg of Consolation (Audio CD)
Continues in the superb vein that O'Brian has established in his earlier books in the Aubrey/Maturin series. Filled with fascinating tidbits of information about the South Seas and the early 19th century. I loved it

5.0étoiles sur 5 Another Engaging Read from Patrick O'Brian, Jui 28 2002
Par Elizabeth Hendry (New Jersey USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Nutmeg of Consolation (Book 14) (Aubrey/Maturin Series) (Paperback)
Let's face it, all of Patrick O'Brian's novels in this series are wonderful. The Nutmeg of Consolation is no exception. If you have gotten this far in the series, there is absolutely no reason to stop now. This one takes place primarily in the South Pacific and Australia, and therefore does not have much in the domestic life of Aubrey and Maturin. The novel opens when they are stranded on an island in the South Pacific. Adventures naturally ensue, and ultimately, they find themselves in Australia, clashing to a certain extent with the locals. All in all, a completely enjoyable novel, filled with the humor, the action, the human drama that we come to expect in the Aubrey-Maturin series. Enjoy.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Why are you reading this series??, Oct. 2 2001
Par Un client
This review is from: The Nutmeg of Consolation (Audio Cassette)
Did you ever listen to Tim Pigott-Smith do these in the audiobook format? I cannot read these ever again as he elevates the experience of these lusty sea-ditties to new heights! He brings them alive with a fabulous array of dialects, voices, genders, etc. From Aubrey's gusty command voice to Maturin's Irish whine to Killick's gutter-snipe cockney it's a whirlwind of adventure on the high seas. And..if you need to know... the Nutmeg is a risen-from-the-ocean-floor Dutch merchantman that's fitted out with enough firepower to attempt to take on (through devious Aubrey machinations) a French Man-o-War and there's a reunion with the Surprise!! Keep em' coming and sail the blue with Mr. Smith every time! "Bare-away", Mr Killick, "Bare-away".

This is another in the "Aubrey/Maturin" series. As with previous books by O'Brian, it is somewhat technical in that he writes in a 17th century sea captin language... Read more
