Hornblower
C. S. Forester
Once Current Reading: December 2000

Two lists here, first the Hornblower novels in chronological order, and then some Hornblower sundries (including omnibus editions of the novels). For some reason Amazon.com doesn't stock the omnibus editions, and Amazon.co.UK only stocks a couple of the single novel editions. For some other reasons, there are slight variations in the titles of some of the novels; this list shows the original titles as far as I know them.

The Hornblower novels:

  • Mr Midshipman Hornblower   My copy: Penguin 1956,   ISBN 01400 11153
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Lieutenant Hornblower   My copy: Pan 1957,   ISBN (not shown)
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Hornblower and the Hotspur   My copy: Penguin 1968,   ISBN (illegible)
    Amazon.com paperback 
  • Hornblower and the Atropos   My copy: Penguin 1969,   ISBN 330 02325X
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • The Happy Return (published in the US as "Beat to Quarters")  My copy: Penguin 1951,   ISBN (not shown)
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Beat to Quarters (published in the UK and Commonwealth countries as "The Happy Return")
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • A Ship of the Line   My copy: Penguin 1956,   ISBN (not shown
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Flying Colours   My copy: Penguin 1956,   ISBN 140011137
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • The Commodore (published in the US as "Commodore Hornblower")  My copy: Penguin 1956,   ISBN (not shown)
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Commodore Hornblower (published in the UK and Commonwealth countries as "The Commodore")
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Lord Hornblower   My copy: Halstead Press Pty Limited 1947,   ISBN (not shown)
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Hornblower in the West Indies (published in the US as "Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies")  My copy: Pan 1960,   ISBN (not shown)
    Amazon.com paperback   
  • Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies (published in the UK and Commonwealth countries as "Hornblower in the West Indies")
    Amazon.com paperback

Sundry Hornblower publications:

  • Hornblower and the Crisis (published in the US as "Hornblower during the Crisis")  My copy: Michael Joseph Ltd 1967,   ISBN (not shown)
    The title refers to the last, unfinished, novel in the Hornblower series, which breaks off as Hornblower is about to precipitate the battle of Trafalgar. This volume also contains two short stories: "Hornblower and the Widow McCool" is another episode in the career of Hornblower as midshipman, and in "The Last Encounter" Hornblower's flexibility and quickness of thought are shown again as Bonaparte disturbes his contented retirement.
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Hornblower during the Crisis (published in the UK and Commonwealth countries as "Hornblower and the Crisis")  
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Young Hornblower (Omnibus edition containing "Mr Midshipman Hornblower", "Lieutenant Hornblower", and "Hornblower and the Hotspur")
    Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Captain Hornblower RN (Omnibus edition containing "Hornblower and the Atropos", "The Happy Return", and "A Ship of the Line")
    Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • Admiral Hornblower (Omnibus edition containing "Flying Colours", "The Commodore", "Lord Hornblower", and "Hornblower in the West Indies")
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • The Hornblower Companion
    C.S. Forester sets out how Hornblower and the novels developed in his mind and in publication. I particularly enjoyed his pleasure that the maps of Hornblower's voyages turned out to make sense, and the remarks about Horatio Nelson.
    Amazon.com paperback   Amazon.co.UK paperback
  • The Life and Times of Horatio Hornblower by C. Northcote Parkinson
    I read a borrowed copy of this book, and remember it with affection, partly because of Parkinson's clear affection for Hornblower and his respect for C.S. Forester. Provides substantial background detail, some speculative and some factual, to the novels.

Two lists here, first the Hornblower novels in chronological order, and then some Hornblower sundries (including omnibus editions of the novels). For some reason Amazon.com doesn't stock the omnibus editions, and Amazon.co.UK only stocks a couple of the single novel editions. For some other reasons, there are slight variations in the titles of some of the novels; this list shows the original titles as far as I know them.
