Hornblower sticks it to the French. If “A Happy Return” illustrated Hornblower’s lethalness against a single ship “A Ship Of The Line” crazily ups the ante as Horatio inspires his crew of gaolbirds and prisoners to five victories in three days leading the reader to wonder why this guy isn’t Admiral ...
“Sea captains were not all of a class, as the uninitiated might carelessly decide.” Rip-roaring. My first Hornblower (to my shame) and I’m kicking myself I didn’t dive into these as my English teacher advised at secondary school back in the 1980s. It was all computers and space battles in those days...

I thought that The African Queen was a story about the male-female relationship. It was a story about how when men and women work together (as seen between Rose and Charlie) the two genders are at their best. When there is partnership and equality the couple can overcome powerful odds. But when ...
