And throughout his escapades Forester’s hero remains gallant, resourceful and courageous; the embodiment of all that is most vivid in a great naval tradition.  About The Author Cecil Scott Forester was born in Cecil Louis Troughton Smith in Cairo, Egypt. His father was a minor British governmental officer in the Egyptian Ministry of Education. In 1901 his mother, Sarah Smith, took her five children to London. Forester was educated at Alleyne's School and in 1915 he entered Dulwich College. He then tried to enlist in the army, but failed the physical. Forester studied medicine at Guy's Hospital for a few years. In 1921 he abandoned his studies for writing, taking the pen name Cecil Scott Forester. Without much experience in writing Forester's way to literary fame started slowly. In the early phase of his career he wrote novels and biographies, among others NAPOLEON AND HIS COURT (1924), and JOSEPHINE, NAPOLEON'S EMPRESS (1925), and novels PAYMENT DEFERRED (1926), which gained critical success, and BROWN ON RESOLUTION (1929). Payment Deferred, set during World War I, was a story about a desperate man who poisons his wealthy nephew for money. The book was made into a play in 1931 and filmed in 1932 with Charles Laughton in the leading role. ONE WONDERFUL WEEK (1927) was filmed in Finland under the title Synnitön lankeemus without giving credits to the novel. With the publication of DEATH TO THE FRENCH (1932) and THE GUN (1933) Forester gained a reputation as a novelist. Both focused on the Peninsula War. In 1935 his most famous book, THE AFRICAN QUEEN appeared, which depicted the relationship between Rose Sayer, an evangelical English spinster, and Charlie Allnutt, a liquor drinking small-boat captain. Their unlikely love and adventure story was set in German Central Africa during World War I. The story was made into a classic film sixteen years later, starring Katherine Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. THE GENERAL (1936) reworked the characteristic Forester theme of individual fortitude in war. At the age of 38 Forester produced the first of his tales of the Napoleonic Wars, featuring Horatio Hornblower. The character was born on a freighter voyage bound for England.  About The Reader Christian Rodska (born September 5, 1945 in Northumberland) is a versatile British actor who has appeared in many television and radio series and narrated a number of audiobooks. He enjoys audio books "because the listener can absorb a novel in conditions that don’t require specifically sitting down to read," he explains. "I love the thought that audio books make every genre of literature accessible to people in all walks of life who, in some circumstances, may not necessarily have time to read and may come upon works they may never have dreamed of approaching."
