Finn, your Starvard guide

Hallo, ich bin Finn, und ich helfe dir, dieses Buch zu verstehen.

Hier ist es, erklärt, als wärst du 10 Jahre alt:

Wellingborough Redburn ist der Sohn eines vornehmen Herrn und hat kein Geld, also tut er etwas Mutiges: Er heuert als Schiffsjunge an und segelt von New York nach Liverpool auf einem Handelsschiff. Er ist seekrank, er wird ausgelacht, er reinigt den Schweinestall, und er lernt die Arbeit auf die harte Weise. In Liverpool sieht er große Docks und tiefe Armut. Melville hatte selbst genau solch eine Reise gemacht, und das merkt man.
