Autorenporträt
Cecil Louis Troughton Smith, a British author best known for his works of naval fiction, notably the Horatio Hornblower series, wrote under the pen name C.S. Forester. He was born in Cairo, Egypt, on August 27, 1899, and raised in London. Forester went to Dulwich College and Guy's Hospital to study medicine, but he never went into practice. Before switching to fiction, Forester started out as a journalist. After "Payment Deferred," his first book, was released in 1926, he continued to create a large number of books, including "The African Queen," "The Good Shepherd," and "The Gun." His Hornblower series, which recounts the career of a Royal Navy commander during the Napoleonic Wars, is the reason he is most well-known. Twelve books and a number of short tales are part of the series. Forester has two children from his two marriages. While on a lecture tour around the country, he passed away on April 2, 1966, in Fullerton, California.
