Irish Writers
Patrick O'Brian
Although he was born Richard Patrick Russ in England, O'Brian encouraged the notion that he was Irish, and he died in Dublin in 2000. He is best known for his well-researched Aubrey-Maturin series of naval novels set during the Napoleonic Wars, which focus on the adventures and friendship of an English Captain Jack Aubrey and Irish Dr. Stephen Maturin. His novel The Far Side of the World was the basis for the movie Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, although it also draws on incidents from several of the Aubrey-Maturin books.
