C. Northcote Parkinson

    30 juli 1909 – 9 maart 1993

    Cyril Northcote Parkinson was een marinehistoricus en auteur van ongeveer zestig boeken. Hij staat vooral bekend om zijn uitgebreide werk als academicus op het gebied van openbaar bestuur. Zijn beroemdste bijdrage is de Wet van Parkinson, die humoristisch de neiging beschrijft dat werk zich uitbreidt om alle beschikbare tijd te vullen. Parkinson's inzichtelijke analyse van organisatorische principes en de menselijke natuur biedt tijdloze observaties voor lezers.

    The Life and Times of Horatio Hornblower
    • Originally published in 1949, Portsmouth Point: The British Navy in Fiction, 1793-1815 is a captivating look into the naval experience during the Napoleonic wars. The author, C.N. Parkinson, uses excerpts from the writings of real officers, midshipman and crew members during the late 18th and early 19th centuries to create a semi-fictitious collection of naval stories. The dialogue, characters, and events within the book are not historical fact, but as Parkinson writes in the preface, a truly good novelist "writes boldly the sort of talk there might have been and so creates-- as compared with the biographer-- an impression more vivid, and in a sense, more true."

    • Many know of Horatio Hornblower's exploits during the Napoleonic Wars through the novels of C.S. Forester, but how many know the true Hornblower--the man who rose from Midshipman to Admiral of the British Fleet? Using Hornblower family papers discovered in the 1970s, C. Northcote Parkinson has set the record straight in this authoritative biography.
