The Herman Melville Library
In which a youth named Wellingborough Redburn, imbued with a restless longing for the sea and foreign lands, sets out from a quiet Hudson River village leaving behind the comfort of home and the stern kindness of a brother’s parting gifts. His first ventures ashore in the bustling streets of New York bring him face to face with the harsh realities of poverty, the rough humour of sailors, and the dim, damp confines of a ship’s forecastle where he must begin his unfamiliar life at sea.
