Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) is hardly the most revered hero of Britain. Three glorious naval victories of the era of the sailing fleet were achieved by the genius of Nelson: the Battle of Cape St. Vincent, the Battle of the Nile and the Battle of Trafalgar. His famous flag signal "England expects everyone to do their duty", raised on the flagship before the decisive battle, became legendary for the British army and Navy, and influenced the entire subsequent military culture.
But this illustrious admiral won the hearts of his compatriots not only by his victories, but also by his unwavering patriotism and love - a great love for a woman for whom he was ready to sacrifice everything except his homeland, duty and honor.
Nelson's multifaceted personality is vividly reflected in his extensive epistolary legacy, which has never been published in Russian before. For the book offered to the reader, letters, reports and fragments of the Vice Admiral's personal diary have been selected, which most fully give an idea of both Nelson's naval genius and his personal qualities and experiences, because in this multifaceted and contradictory personality, deep religiosity and contempt for Puritanical conventions, humanity and unrestrained bravery in battle surprisingly coexisted a greedy desire for fame and dreams of a quiet secluded life in a rural house... His life is a vivid example of how a person, thanks to his work and perseverance, can rise from the most difficult circumstances to the top of fame and honors.
