The African Queen de C. S. Forester

The African Queen

Autor C. S. Forester
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 1984
First published in 1935, C.S. Forester's classic romantic adventure is a tale of opposites attracted. Allnut and Rose, a disreputable Cockney and an English spinster missionary, wend their way down a river in Central Africa in a rickety, asthmatic steam launch, and are gradually joined together in a mission of retaliation against the Germans. Fighting time, heat, malaria and bullets, the two have a dramatic rapprochement before the explosive ending of the book. This tale of unlikely love is thrilling and funny and ultimately satisfying.

Notă biografică

C. S. Forester was born in Cairo but moved to London with his mother where he was educated at Alleyn's School and Dulwich College. He began to study medicine at Guy's Hospital, London, but left without completing his degree and established himself as a professional writer in the early 1920s. Rejected by the army, he moved to America during the Second World War and wrote propaganda for the British Information Service. He eventually settled in California and died in 1966. Forester is best known for his twelve-book Horatio Hornblower series, set during the Napoleonic wars, and for The African Queen (1935), which was made famous by the film of the same name, starring Humphrey Bogart and Catherine Hepburn.
