Redburn

📓 Herman Melville (1819-1891) was an American poet and novelist of the American Renaissance, best known for his allusive adventure novel "Moby-Dick." Partly based on the author's experience, "Redburn" is a fascinating coming- of-age story of a young sailor Wellington Redburn, who decides to leave New York in search of a better life in Liverpool, England. It is a moving tale about losing an innocent outlook on life and obtaining life experience through overcoming adversity.
