 | | The Hundred Days is the 19th (and, we are told, the penultimate) instalment of O'Brian's epic. |
 | | Indeed, The Hundred Days is very much a chronicle of a floating community, which Maturin describes as "his own village, his own ship's company, that complex entity so much more easily sensed than described: part of his natural habitat." |
 | | The timing is difficult: At the end of Yellow Admiral, Aubrey, Maturin, and their families all seem to be in the Azores, where they learn Napoleon has escaped--the Hundred Days have begun. |
