Description
Redburn His First Voyage is a novel by Herman Melville that tells the story of a young man named Wellingborough Redburn who embarks on his first sea voyage from New York to Liverpool. The novel is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of identity, morality, and the harsh realities of life at sea.As Redburn sets sail, he quickly learns that life on a merchant ship is far from glamorous. He is subjected to harsh living conditions, brutal treatment from the crew, and the constant threat of danger from storms and pirates. Despite these challenges, Redburn remains determined to prove himself as a sailor and navigate the treacherous waters of the Atlantic.Throughout the novel, Melville paints a vivid picture of life on a 19th century merchant ship, from the daily routines of the crew to the complex social hierarchies that exist on board. He also delves into the moral dilemmas faced by Redburn as he struggles to reconcile his own beliefs with the harsh realities of life at sea.Redburn His First Voyage is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that offers a unique glimpse into the world of 19th century seafaring. It is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers today.Yes, I will go to sea; cut my kind uncles and aunts, and sympathizing patrons, and leave no heavy hearts but those in my own home, and take none along but the one which aches in my bosom. Cold, bitter cold as December, and bleak as its blasts, seemed the world then to me; there is no misanthrope like a boy disappointed; and such was I, with the warmth of me flogged out by adversity. But these thoughts are bitter enough even now, for they have not yet gone quite away; and they must be uncongenial enough to the reader; so no more of that, and let me go on with my story.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
