Redburn - His First Voyage

Herman Melville

"Redburn - His First Voyage" is a 1849 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The story follows a fifteen-year-old boy from the state of New York called Wellington Redburn, who dreams only of running away to sea. When he finally manages to realise his goal, however, he finds that the reality of a life at sea is far less romantic than he envisioned. Herman Melville (August 1, 1819 - September 28, 1891) was an American short story writer, novelist, and poet belonging to the American Renaissance period. His is most famous for his works: "Typee" (1846) and "Moby-Dick" (1851). Other notable works by this author include: "Mardi: And a Voyage Thither" (1849), "Pierre: or, The Ambiguities" (1852), and "'Benito Cereno'" (1855). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
