Two Years Before the Mast (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) by Richard Henry Dana
This special edition of TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST includes updates 24 and 76 years after the initial voyage. Richard Dana writes so that the reader can feel the icy Chilean waters, taste the hardtack, and feel whip upon your flogged back.
Take the voyage with him as he leaves Harvard to travel with a mad captain around South America to the coasts of California. Feel the same passions that influenced Herman Melville in writing his book Moby Dick and made D.H. Lawrence declare, Dana's small book is a very great book.
Richard Henry Dana Jr (1815-1882) was a Massachusetts-based lawyer and politician. Dana became well-known as the author of Two Years Before the Mast, a memoir that became an American classic. He was a descendent of a prominent colonial family. Dana was a champion of the oppressed, from mariners to escaped slaves, as a writer and as a lawyer.
