Dear Doug,
Many thanks for taking the trouble to write.
I should have made more searches on the Internet : I relied on Wikipedia,
which does not mention this "omnibus" title.
The French version of Wikipedia gives the titles of all the translations
available - I suppose you could complete your collection through Abebooks.
By the way, it so happens that today I will be tackling the chapter of my
Dictionnaire Churchill on his medals. I know you are an expert ! Your list
on the small Chuchill Companion (spiral bound) will be of great help ! But I
must give the names in French ! I hope I will find them without too much
difficulty.
Best,
A.C.

Antoine, Sorry I was away from my computer all day or I could have helped
to answer your inquiry. I have all the Hornblowers in my library. In
addition to Captain Hornblower, R.N., the other omnibus volumes are The
Young Hornblower and Admiral Hornblower. Like Hemingway, I recommend
Hornblower to everyone literate I know. Regards, Doug Russell p.s. I even
have a time-worn copy of Monsieur L' Aspirant de Marine Horatio Hornblower
(Librairie Gallimard, 1953)

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Re: Churchill and _Captain Hornblower, R.N._
Dear All,
I am continuing with the writing of my Dictionnaire Churchill for a Paris
publisher.
Dealing with his readings, I am puzzled by what he writes in The Grand
Alliance (end of Chapter 23, “My meeting with Roosevelt” [Reprint Soc. ed,
p. 343]):
“…Lyttleton…had given me _Captain Hornblower, R.N._, which I found very
entertaining.”
But the list of Hornblower books by C.S. Forester includes no such title.
The novels published before August 1941 are listed as:
- The Happy Return (1937)
-A Ship of the Line (1938)
-Flying Colours (1938)
With three short stories:
- "Hornblower and His Majesty" (1941)
-"Hornblower and the Hand of Destiny" (1941)
-"Hornblower's Charitable Offering" (1941)
Churchill and his “syndicate” obviously did not check when sending The Grand
Alliance to the publishers - I wonder what he meant by _Captain Hornblower,
R.N._? Were there variants in the Hornblower titles ?
With all best wishes,
