Notă biografică
C.
S.
Forester
was
born
in
Cairo
in
1899,
where
his
father
was
stationed
as
a
government
official.
He
studied
medicine
at
Guy's
Hospital
and,
after
leaving
Guy's
without
a
degree,
he
turned
to
writing
as
a
career.
His first success was Payment Deferred, a novel written at the age of twenty-four and later dramatized and filmed with Charles Laughton in the leading role. In 1932 Forester was offered a Hollywood contract, and from then until 1939 he spent thirteen weeks of every year in America.
On the outbreak of war he entered the Ministry of Information and later he sailed with the Royal Navy to collect the material for The Ship. He made a voyage to the Bering Sea to gather material for a similar book on the United States Navy, and it was during this trip that he was stricken with arteriosclerosis, a disease which left him crippled. However, he continued to write and in the Hornblower novels created the most renowned sailor in contemporary fiction. He died in 1966.
