Bøger af Frederick Marryat

Frederik Marryats klassiske ungdomsbog "Børnene i Nyskoven" foregår i 1600-tallets England, hvor fire forældreløse børn må søge tilflugt i en hytte i Nyskoven. Op til sin død kæmpede deres far i Karl den 1.‘s hær, som er blevet fordrevet af Oliver Cromwell, og nu er også børnenes liv i fare.

Frederick Marryats mesterlige roman "Jacob Ærlig" handler om drengen Jacobs frygtelige opvækst på en kulpram og hans videre skæbne i livet. Frederick Marryats evne til at beskrive det grusomme på en humoristisk måde kommer her til fuld udfoldelse.

I Frederick Marryats gotiske klassiker er den hollandske sømand Philip Vanderdeckens far blevet forbandet til for evigt at sejle på de syv verdenshave som kaptajn på spøgelsesskibet Den Flyvende Hollænder. På sit dødsleje fortæller Philips mor, at der findes en måde, hvorpå hans far kan blive befriet fra forbandelsen og endelig finde hvile, og Philip drager nu ud på en farlig færd for at redde sin far og hans besætning.Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) var en engelsk søofficer og forfatter. Han afbrød to gange sin skolegang for at komme til søs. Som ung meldte han sig frivilligt til flåden, tjente sig op gennem graderne fra kadet, deltog i den britisk-amerikanske krig, Napoleonskrigene og flere ekspeditioner, indtil han med rang af kommandør kunne forlade tjenesten og hellige sig sin forfattervirksomhed.

Jacob vokser op på en ussel flodpram - hans mor er fordrukken og faderen et skvat - indtil hans sjette år har Jacob aldrig været iland. Han bliver forældreløs og da han kommer iland opdager han at verden er grusom. Romaen er humoristisk og forfærdelig på en og samme tid.Med 40 illustrationer.

"Kongens eje" er et mærke der sættes på alt hvad der tilhører kongen. Det har form af en bred pilespids og sættes på alt, lige fra kanoner og geværer til gryder og pander og uniformsknapper. Den der uberettiget er i besiddelse af en genstand med dette mærke er hjemfalden til dødsstraf.Drengen Willy, der er romanens helt, er der ikke rigtig nogen der ved hvem er - man får da den ide at udstyre ham med "Kongens eje" hvilket bliver tatoveret på hans ene skulder. Dette viser sig at være både en fordel og en bagdel. Han gennemlever et rent ud sagt eventyrligt liv, både til søs og til lands.

I romanen "Den fattige Jack" fortæller Kaptajn Marryat i al sin nænsomme detaljerigdom den fattige dreng Jacks livshistorie til søs, og den slutter først, da Jack som midaldrende mand går fra borde.

Fra bogen: "Et slankt, rødmosset ungt menneske, med udseende af at være brystsvag, stod bag disken og ordnede recepter, og en snavset dreng, vel en tretten år gammel, stod i nærheden af ham med sin kurv, hvori han skulle have lægemidlerne og aflevere dem efter de forskellige adresser, så snart medicinen var færdig. Det unge menneske bag disken, hvis navn var Brookes, manglede knap atten måneder i at have udstået sin læretid, hvorefter hans slægt og venner havde i sinde at sætte ham i vej for egen regning, og dette var grunden, der fik Mr. Cofagus til at antage mig, for at jeg kunne udfylde hans plads, når han tog bort. Mr. Brookes var en meget stilfærdig, elskværdig person, venlig imod mig og den anden dreng, der løb i byen med lægemidlerne, og som Mr. Cofagus havde fæstet for føde og klæder. Portneren fortalte Mr. Brookes, hvem jeg var, og forlod mig. 'Tror du du vil få lyst til at blive apoteker?' sagde Mr. Brookes til mig og smilede et velvilligt smil." ”Japhet søger sin fader” beskriver den forældreløse Jafets hårde, men muntre, vej op i klassesamfundet i 1800-tallets England. Kaptajn Marryats roman foregår udelukkende til lands – i modsætning til de øvrige haveventyr, forfatteren ellers er så kendt og elsket for.

Ungdomsromanen "Nybyggerne i Canada" beskriver en engelsk families pionertid i Canadas skove omkring år 1800.Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) var en engelsk søofficer og forfatter.Han afbrød to gange sin skolegang for at komme til søs. Som ung meldte han sig frivilligt til flåden, tjente sig op gennem graderne fra kadet, deltog i den britisk-amerikanske krig, Napoleonskrigene og flere ekspeditioner, indtil han med rang af kommandør kunne forlade tjenesten og hellige sig sin forfattervirksomhed.Marryats forfatterskab omfatter en lang række romaner, som beskriver livet til søs og er rettet til et ungt publikum.

Den første der virkelig forstod at skildre livet til søs var Frederick Marryat. Hans romaner dannede skole for så forskellige forfattere som Joseph Conrad og Hemingway. Peter Simple er historien om en ung søofficer i Nelsons flåde under Napoleons-krigene. Et virkeligt mesterværk med skildringer af mindeværdige figuerer, også med et vis komisk præg.

Captain Frederick Marryat (July 10, 1792 - August 9, 1848) was an English novelist, a contemporary and acquaintance of Charles Dickens, noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story.... Captain Frederick Marryat (10 July 1792 - 9 August 1848) was a British Royal Navy officer, a novelist, and an acquaintance of Charles Dickens. He is noted today as an early pioneer of the sea story, particularly for his semi-autobiographical novel Mr Midshipman Easy (1836), for his children's novel The Children of the New Forest (1847), and for a widely used system of maritime flag signalling, known as Marryat's Code. Early life and naval career: Marryat was born in Great George Street, Westminster, London, the son of Joseph Marryat (1757-1824), a "merchant prince" and member of Parliament, and his American wife Charlotte, née von Geyer. After trying to run away to sea several times, Marryat was permitted to enter the Royal Navy in 1806 as a midshipman on board HMS Imperieuse, a frigate commanded by Lord Cochrane (who later served as inspiration for Marryat as well as other authors). Marryat's time aboard the Imperieuse included action off the Gironde, the rescue of a fellow midshipman who had fallen overboard, captures of many ships off the Mediterranean coast of Spain, and the capture of the castle of Montgat. The Imperieuse shifted to operations in the Scheldt in 1809, where Marryat contracted malaria; he returned to England on the 74-gun HMS Victorious. After recuperating, Marryat returned to the Mediterranean in the 74-gun HMS Centaur and again saved a shipmate by leaping into the sea after him. He then sailed as a passenger to Bermuda in the 64-gun HMS Atlas, and from there to Halifax, Nova Scotia on the schooner HMS Chubb, where he joined the 32-gun frigate HMS Aeolus on 27 April 1811. A few months later, Marryat again earned distinction by leading the effort to cut away the Aeolus's mainyard to save the ship during a storm and, continuing a pattern, he also saved one of the men from the sea. Shortly thereafter, he moved to the frigate HMS Spartan, participating in the capture of a number of American ships (the War of 1812 having begun). On 26 December 1812, he was promoted to lieutenant, and as such served in the sloop HMS Espiegle and in HMS Newcastle. Marryat led four barges from the latter ship on a punishing raid to Orleans, Massachusetts on December 19, 1814, the last combat in New England during the war. The affair had mixed results. Initially, Marryat cut out an American schooner and three sloops, but managed to escape with just one sloop. The local militia avoided casualties while killing one Royal marine. He was promoted to commander on 13 June 1815, just as peace broke out.......... From 1832 to 1835, Marryat edited The Metropolitan Magazine.Additionally, he kept producing novels; his biggest success came with Mr Midshipman Easy in 1836. He lived in Brussels for a year, travelled in Canada and the United States, then moved to London in 1839, where he was in the literary circle of Charles Dickens and others. He was in North America in 1837 when the Rebellion of that year broke out in Lower Canada, and served with the British forces in suppressing it. Marryat was named a Fellow of the Royal Society in recognition of his invention and other achievements. In 1843, he moved to a small farm at Manor Cottage in Norfolk, where he died in 1848. His daughter Florence Marryat later became well known as a writer and actress. His son Francis Samuel Marryat completed his late novel The Little Savage...........

Those who may be pleased to honour these pages with a perusal, will not be detained with a long introductory history of my birth, parentage, and education. The very title implies that, at this period of my memoirs, I was ignorant of the two first; and it will be necessary for the due development of my narrative, that I allow them to remain in the same state of bliss; for in the perusal of a tale, as well as in the pilgrimage of life, ignorance of the future may truly be considered as the greatest source of happiness.

Set in the time of the English Civil War and the Commonwealth The Children of the New Forest is a children's novel first published in 1847 by Frederick Marryat. The story follows the fortunes of the four Beverley children who are orphaned during the war, and hide from their Roundhead oppressors in the shelter of the New Forest where they learn to live off the land.

There is perhaps no event in the annals of our history which excited more alarm at the time of its occurrence, or has since been the subject of more general interest, than the Mutiny at the Nore, in the year 1797. Forty thousand men, to whom the nation looked for defence from its surrounding enemies, and in steadfast reliance upon whose bravery it lay down every night in tranquillity, -men who had dared everything for their king and country, and in whose breasts patriotism, although suppressed for the time, could never be extinguished, -irritated by ungrateful neglect on the one hand, and by seditious advisers on the other, turned the guns which they had so often manned in defence of the English flag against their own countrymen and their own home, and, with all the acrimony of feeling ever attending family quarrels, seemed determined to sacrifice the nation and themselves, rather than listen to the dictates of reason and of conscience. Doubtless there is a point at which endurance of oppression ceases to be a virtue, and rebellion can no longer be considered as a crime; but it is a dangerous and intricate problem, the solution of which had better not be attempted. It must, however, be acknowledged, that the seamen, on the occasion of the first mutiny, had just grounds of complaint, and that they did not proceed to acts of violence until repeated and humble remonstrance had been made in vai

Excerpt: ...thus employed, and talking at times, the men came up for the dried birds to take down ready for putting them in the boat on the following day, and in two trips they had cleared out the whole of them. "Have you used all the potatoes you brought up?" said one of the men; "for we shall be short of provisions." Mrs Reichardt replied that we had none left. "Well then," said the man, "the mate says you had better bring down that brute of yours to catch the rest of the fish in the pond, that we may cook them before we start, as they will make two days' meals at least." "Very well," replied I; "I will come down directly." I did so, and Nero, in a quarter of an hour, had landed all the fish, and I then returned with him to the cabin. Mrs R. had selected the best of the clothes, and made them up in a tight bundle, which she sewed up with strong thread. My books she had left out, as well as the spy-glass, and the tools I had, as they might be useful. I asked her whether I should carry them down to the bathing-pool, but she replied that on the morning when we embarked would be quite time enough. I then went to the hole under Jackson's bed-place, and brought out the belt and the few articles that were with it. Mrs R., after having examined them, said that she would take care of them all; the watch and other trinkets she put in her basket, the belt she took to the bed-place, and secreted it. She appeared very silent and thoughtful, and on my asking her whether I should not take down the shovel, and the pail, and hammer, she replied, "No, leave all till we are ready to go to the boat. It will be time enough." Shortly afterwards, the mate brought us up some of the fish which they had cooked for supper, and when we had eaten it we went to bed. "This is the last night we shall sleep together, Nero," said I, kissing my favourite, and the thought brought tears into my eyes. "But it can't be helped." I was however soon fast asleep with my arm round the animal. When I...
