Redburn: His First Voyage

par Herman Melville · 62 parties · about 9 hours 46 minutes de lecture

Bonjour, je m'appelle Finn et je vais t'aider à comprendre ce livre.

Le voici, expliqué comme si tu avais 10 ans :

Wellingborough Redburn est le fils d'un gentilhomme sans argent, alors il fait une chose courageuse : il s'engage comme mousse et navigue de New York à Liverpool sur un navire marchand. Il est malade, on se moque de lui, il nettoie la porcherie, et il apprend le métier à la dure. À Liverpool, il voit de grands quais et une profonde pauvreté. Melville avait fait un tel voyage lui même, et cela se voit.
