Aubrey–Maturin series
The Aubrey–Maturin series is a sequence of nautical historical novels—20 completed and one unfinished—by Patrick O'Brian, set during the Napoleonic Wars and centering on the friendship between Captain Jack Aubrey of the Royal Navy and his ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin, a physician, natural philosopher, and intelligence agent. The first novel, ''Master and Commander'', was published in 1969 and the last finished novel in 1999. The 21st novel of the series, left unfinished at O'Brian's death in 2000, appeared in print in late 2004. The series received considerable international acclaim and most of the novels reached ''The New York Times'' Best Seller list.〔 These novels comprised the canon of an author often compared to Jane Austen, C. S. Forester and other British authors central to the English literature canon.
The 2003 film ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World'' took material from books in this series, notably ''Master and Commander'', ''HMS Surprise'', ''The Letter of Marque'', ''The Fortune of War'', and particularly ''The Far Side of the World''. Russell Crowe played the role of Jack Aubrey, and Paul Bettany that of Stephen Maturin.
==Development==
Patrick O'Brian's ''The Golden Ocean'' (1956) and ''The Unknown Shore'' (1959) both depict fictional pairs of young men loosely based on real seamen who participate in George Anson's voyage around the world. In these two novels, O'Brian began to develop the models for the characters of Aubrey and Maturin as well as the storytelling techniques used in the series.
