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.

Peter Simple (1834) is a novel by Frederick Marryat. Inspired by the author''s experience as a captain in the Royal Navy, Peter Simple is a tale of bravery, foolishness, and the manifold reasons for men to take to the high seas. Frequently funny, often profound, Marryat''s novel is an underappreciated classic of nineteenth century fiction. "If I cannot narrate a life of adventurous and daring exploits, fortunately I have no heavy crimes to confess: and, if I do not rise in the estimation of the reader for acts of gallantry and devotion in my country''s cause, at least I may claim the merit of zealous and persevering continuance in my vocation." Rejected by his aristocratic family, Peter Simple sets out to sea to prove himself as a midshipman in the Royal Navy. As he rises through the ranks with the help of a veteran sailor and makes a name for himself during the fierce fighting of the Napoleonic Wars, Peter discovers new depths to his fortitude and experiences things he would never have seen on land. Adapted for a 1957 BBC television series, Peter Simple is considered one of the most accurate portrayals of naval life during the Napoleonic era. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Frederick Marryat''s Peter Simple is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Das Buch (Originaltitel: „Mr Midshipman Easy") erzählt die abenteuerliche Geschichte Jack Freimuts, der als Jugendlicher zur See geht, dort viele Abenteuer erlebt und so allmählich zu einem gereiften Erwachsenen heranwächst. Auf diversen britischen Kriegsschiffen erlebt der junge Seekadett Seegefechte und andere gefährliche Szenen hautnah mit, kann sich aber stets mit viel Glück, Witz und Geschick aus noch der aussichtslosesten Situation retten. Neben der Schilderung der Abenteuer wird viel Wert auf eine liebevolle und einfühlsame Beschreibung der sehr originellen Charaktere gelegt, die dieses Buch bevölkern. Marryat hat hier ein spannendes und vergnügliches, oft mit einem Augenzwinkern erzähltes Buch geschrieben, das Jung und Alt eine höchst unterhaltsame Lektüre garantiert.

„An den Nocken des Kutters hingen die toten Körper von Vanslyperken und Snarleyyow. Ein solches Ende nahmen einer der größten Schurken und einer der schnödesten Köter, die je existiert haben. Sie waren fluchwürdig in ihrem Leben und wurden auch in ihrem Tode nicht getrennt. Den schriftlichen Nachrichten zufolge … muss die doppelte Hinrichtung am dritten August des Jahres 1700 stattgefunden haben." Als großer Kenner der englischen Marine entführt der Autor den Leser in die raue Welt der Seefahrer vor der englischen Küste um 1700. Kapitän Vanslyperken hat es nicht leicht. Es ist schwer, mit seiner Mannschaft fertigzuwerden, insbesondere mit dem Koch Smallbones. Man kann ihn ja nicht jeden Tag kielholen lassen kann, obwohl er sich fortgesetzt Kämpfe mit dem Schiffshund Snarleyyow liefert. Dann ist da noch die Witwe Vandersloosch, die an der Küste ein Lusthaus unterhält. Als Vanslyperken in politische Händel gerät, ist das Fass zum Überlaufen voll.

Im Jahre 1794 schickt sich die englische Familie Campbell, die in der Heimat Not und Unglück zu leiden hat, zur Niederlassung in Kanada an. Vor dem Hintergrund der kanadischen Wildnis bauen sich die Campbells in der Neuen Welt eine neue Existenz auf. In ihrer neuen Heimat in Ontario haben sie eine Reihe von Schwierigkeiten zu bewältigen und viele Abenteuer durchzustehen, bis sie sich in der Fremde etabliert haben und sie zu ihrem neuen Zuhause geworden ist. Eine spannende Lesefreude für Jung und Alt und ein sehr interessantes und lesenswertes Dokument über die Siedlergeschichte in Kanada, das den Vergleich mit einem literarischen Meisterwerk wie James Fenimore Coopers Lederstrumpf-Roman „Die Ansiedler" nicht zu scheuen braucht!

Frederick Marryat selbst kämpfte im Mittelmeer gegen Franzosen und Türken und war später Leiter einer Expedition nach Birma. In seiner Erzählung „Die drei Kutter" schildert Marryat Vorkommisse, die er bei der Küstenwache mit Schmugglern selbst erlebte. Die Hauptrollen in dieser Erzählung spielen drei Kutter, von denen zwei in Plymouth liegen, während der Auftritt des dritten auf französischer Seite in St. Malo beginnt. Dies ist die „Ohnesorge", deren Kapitän Jack Pickersgill ist. Ziel seiner Reise nach England ist das Schmuggeln und fast unweigerlich droht er an der englischen Küste in die Fänge des Zollkutters zu gelangen. Wäre da nicht die Jacht seiner Lordschaft, die mehr zufällig in diese Auseinandersetzung hineingezogen wird. Als Pickersgill und seine Lordschaft aufeinandertreffen, reift ein ganz eigenartiger Plan heran.

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.
