I second this. I love those novels and have read them all at least
twice. In many ways I strive to be like Hornblower, but certainly not
all.

Thanks to Andres for summarising who was fighting who in the Carlist wars in
Spain.
If he hasn't read any of C S Forester's "Hornblower" novels, then he has a
treat in store. They are far better than the ones he quoted. They should
always be read with a good Atlas available.

In the Carlists wars the Basque country cities: Bilbao, Pamplona and San
Sebastian were liberals throughout the conflict.
and the country side, anchored in the past, were absolutims. British and
French were with the liberals and most important ports served for their war
ships.
In line with the historical accounts, I am interested in authors of novels
about the sea in past ages.
I have read books by Patrick O'Brian (Aubrey & Maturin, Master & Commander)
and Alexander Kent (Richard Bolitho). Any review to other novels will be
welcomed.
