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.

Among the crew is Ishmael, the novel's narrator,...

So judged the New York Herald when Pierre was first published in 1852, with most contemporary reviewers joining...
