Finn, your Starvard guide

Olá, meu nome é Finn e vou ajudar você a entender este livro.

Aqui está, explicado como se você tivesse 10 anos:

Richard Dana era um estudante universitário, não um marinheiro, quando se alistou em um navio para a Califórnia como trabalhador comum. Por dois anos, ele subiu em cordas geladas, fez vigílias noturnas, arrastou couros pesados e viu homens punidos injustamente. Ele escreveu tudo honestamente, o bom e o terrível. Seu livro deixa você sentir exatamente o que os marinheiros comuns suportavam, enquanto os oficiais viviam em conforto na parte de trás.
