Frederick Marryat

    10 luglio 1792 – 9 agosto 1848

    Il Capitano Frederick Marryat fu un ufficiale della Marina Reale Britannica e un romanziere, riconosciuto come uno dei primi pionieri del racconto di mare. Le sue opere catturarono magistralmente le avventure e le sfide della vita in mare, ponendo le basi per il genere della narrativa navale. La scrittura di Marryat è caratterizzata dalla sua autenticità e dalle sue vivide rappresentazioni della vita marittima. La sua eredità letteraria risiede nella sua capacità di trasportare i lettori in mondi pieni di pericolo, coraggio e movimento costante.
