Redburn
by Herman Melville
A fifteen-year-old man from Wellington Redburn, New York State, has only one dream - to escape to sea. However, when he fulfills this long-standing fantasy, he quickly discovers that reality as a jung is much harsher than he imagined. Mocking the crew at Highlander for his weakness and mocking the ruthless and ruthless navigator Jackson, Wellington must fight to endure a long journey from New York to Liverpool. But when he arrives in England, he is equally afraid of what he finds there: poverty, despair, and moral depravity. Inspired by Melville's own youthful experiences on a cargo ship, this film is a compelling story of innocence that evolves from bitter experiences to disappointment. A fascinating maritime magazine and a growing up story, Redburn offers a unique insight into the mind of one of America's greatest novelists.
