Frederick Marryat

    10 juillet 1792 – 9 août 1848

    Le capitaine Frederick Marryat était un officier de la Royal Navy britannique et un romancier, reconnu comme un pionnier précoce du récit de mer. Ses œuvres ont capturé de manière magistrale les aventures et les défis de la vie en mer, jetant ainsi les bases du genre de la fiction navale. L'écriture de Marryat se caractérise par son authenticité et ses représentations vivantes de la vie maritime. Son héritage littéraire réside dans sa capacité à transporter les lecteurs dans des mondes remplis de danger, de courage et de mouvement constant.
