Patrick O’Brian’s tenth Aubrey–Maturin adventure, The Far Side of the World, sends Captain Jack Aubrey’s frigate around Cape Horn in pursuit of an elusive American foe; first-edition hardback collectors prize the 1984 Collins imprint for its rarity.

This ex-library copy still wears its original dust jacket, now laminated for protection, and shows the honest patina of a well-traveled volume: light spine tilt, uniform page toning, scattered foxing to the edges, and a few small stains that never obscure text.

Library stamps appear on the inner boards, confirming institutional provenance without muddling the narrative sweep that inspired the film Master and Commander. A solid reading copy and an affordable entry point for fans of nautical historical fiction seeking O’Brian first editions.
