About the book

Patrick O'Brian's H.M.S. Surprise continues the adventures of naval officer Jack Aubrey and surgeon-intelligence agent Stephen Maturin during the Napoleonic Wars. Aubrey receives command of the frigate HMS Surprise, while Maturin's intelligence work and personal life become increasingly complicated. The novel combines naval action, espionage, travel and the deepening friendship between its two central characters. Ideas: A History (2v.) Ideas: A History traces the development of major intellectual concepts that have shaped human civilisation. Across two volumes, the work examines religion, science, philosophy, politics, art and social thought, showing how ideas emerge, interact and influence institutions. It provides a broad intellectual history rather than focusing only on conventional political events.
