Master And Commander by Patrick OBrian (Audio Book (Part 1 of 2) - 8.3 hrs.mp4

Master and Commander is the first historical novel in the Aubrey-Maturin series by Patrick OBrian. The novel follows the lives of three men two who meet at a musical performance in 1800 in Port Mahon and the third who is first lieutenant of the ship on which they sail as Britain is at war with Napoleons France. Ship encounters in this novel draw on the naval feats of Lord Cochrane. The story starts out on April 1 1800 in Port Mahon Minorca a base of the Royal Navy. A shipless lieutenant wasting away in port Jack Aubrey meets Stephen Maturin a penniless half-Irish and half-Catalan physician and natural philosopher at an evening concert at the Governors Mansion. An offense against honour arises when Jack Aubrey gets elbowed by Maturin to stop beating "a half measure ahead" of the time while the string quartet is playing. Each man is at a low point they exchange names and locations (so that their seconds might call upon them to arrange a duel).Later that evening at his living quarters Jack Aubrey learns that he has been promoted to the rank of commander and has been given command of the brig HMS Sophie. Meeting Maturin on the street the next day Aubreys joy overcomes his animosity and he invites Maturin to dine. Maturin accepts. They each discover a shared love of music and a similar level of talent in the other: Aubrey plays the violin and Maturin plays the cello. Upon learning that Maturin is a physician Aubrey somewhat impetuously asks him to sign on and ship with him the surgeon for Aubreys new ship having left with the previous captain. Although Maturin is a physician with training far beyond the naval designation of surgeon he agrees as he is currently unemployed.
