Redburn: His First Voyage

Hallo, ik ben Finn, en ik help je dit boek te begrijpen.

Hier is het, uitgelegd alsof je 10 jaar bent:

Wellingborough Redburn is de zoon van een heer, zonder geld, dus doet hij iets dappers: hij tekent als scheepsjongen en zeilt van New York naar Liverpool op een koopvaardijschip. Hij is ziek, hij wordt uitgelachen, hij maakt het varkenshok schoon, en hij leert het vak op de harde manier. In Liverpool ziet hij grote dokken en diepe armoede. Melville had zelf precies zo een reis gemaakt, en dat merk je.
