Testimonies by Patrick O’brian
Published in 1952 as "Three Bear Witness", this is a sinister tale of love and death centred around Joseph Pugh, an Oxford don who leaves "the great university" for a life in a wild and beautiful Welsh farm, and for Bronwen Vaughn, the wife of a neighbouring farmer.Patrick O’Brian was born in 1914 and published his first book, Caesar, when he was only fifteen. In the 1960s he began work on the idea that, over the next four decades, evolved into the twenty-novel long Aubrey–Maturin series (with an extra unfinished volume published posthumously). In 1995 he was awarded the CBE, and in 1997 he received an honorary doctorate of letters from Trinity College, Dublin. He died in January 2000 at the age of 85.
