I really appreciated the way Forester told this story of a light frigate on convoy duty in the Mediterranean during WW2. Many of the chapters were told from the point of view of a different perspective, ranging from the captain to ordinary seamen, engineers to gunners to lookouts. ( ) 146. The Ship, by C. S. Forester (read 14 Mar 1944) On March 11, 1944, I said of this book: "Very good." On March 13 I said of the book: "very, very good." On March 14 I said: "Tonight finished The Ship. Wonderful. British Navy wonderful." i wish I had told why it was wonderful, but my diary only had room for about five lines! The clarity of the prose remains, and the eye of Forester, his skill at finding exactly the right point of View character for describing an historic moment, is perfect for this story, a fictionalization of an encounter between the Royal Navy and the royal Italian Navy in the Second Battle of Syrte. It really clothes the bare bones of any mechanical account. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

One vital convoy can break Mussolini's stranglehold on Malta - but it is intercepted in the Mediterranean by enemy warships . . . Five light British cruisers are left to beat back the armed might of the Italian battle fleet and C.S. Forester - creator of Horatio Hornblower - takes us aboard HMS Artemis as she steams into battle against overwhelming odds. We get inside the heads of Artemis's men, from the Captain on his bridge down to the lowest engine room rating, as they struggle over one long and terrifying afternoon to do their duty. C.S. Forester brilliantly recounts life aboard a British warship during some of the darkest days of the Second World War- capturing the urgency of the blazing guns, the thunderous rupturing of deck plates, the screams of pain and the shouts of triumph.
