C. S. Forester, The General
January 1st, 2004 | by Maarten | published in Boeken Maarten | Comments Off on C. S. Forester, The General
‘He would give his life for the ideals he stood for, and would be happy if the opportunity presented itself. His patriotism was a real and living force, even if its symbols were childish. His courage was unflinching.’
This is the General, who drove himself for his country until he was a mere shattered fragment of a man…

C.S. Forester, The African Queen
January 1st, 1985 | by Janantoon | published in Boeken Janantoon | Comments Off on C.S. Forester, The African Queen
For some people this would be a collector’s item: an original Penguin pocket book from 1956. Probably still with Jan Tschichold’s layout. And of course with Eric Gill’s typography.
1956 is not that long ago (please, don’t argue, I was born in 1953), but the book looks as if it came from another epoch altogether. Look at the front with the pencil drawing and the price: 2/6. That would be 2 shillings and 6 pence, wouldn’t it?
Anyway, it’s a fine book. Forester is a master story-teller. He’d prove this with his magnificent Hornblower series. And this story is fun, engaging, a good read, although not in the category of his novel The ship.
