Book Description
Excerpt from Redburn Talk of development and progress develop ment and progress forsooth! For the broad Doric, with its subtle phrasing and marvellous power of expressing the most delicate as well as the loftiest thoughts and feelings, we have now a vulgarised jargon; and for the homely couthie peasantry, a mixed rabble, difficult to describe. The farmer and his man are no longer friends, but strangers to each other, and a spirit of feud divides them. May it be, however, that there are signs of a return to that golden age, when its sweet memories shall again become living truths in the lives of the Scottish people?

Book Description
Wellington Redburn is a fifteen-year-old from the state of New York, with only one dream - to run away to sea. However, when he does fulfil this long-held fantasy, he quickly finds that reality as a cabin boy is far harsher than he ever imagined. Mocked by the crew on board the Highlander for his weakness and bullied by the vicious and merciless sailor Jackson, Wellington must struggle to endure the long journey from New York to Liverpool. But when he does reach England, he is equally horrified by what he finds there: poverty, desperation and moral corruption. Inspired by Melville's own youthful experiences on board a cargo boat, this is a compelling tale of innocence transformed, through bitter experience, into disillusionment. A fascinating sea journal and coming-of-age tale, Redburn provides a unique insight into the mind of one of America's greatest novelists.

Book Description
Excerpt from Redburn: Or the Schoolmaster of a Morning Canto I. Close where Tioga's hill-side fires Smoke, dull, above Owego's spires, On a sweet stream whose silvery tide Swells the broad Susquehannah's pride, So near the road that passers-by Hear the loud laugh ring merrily, Embrown'd and rotted by long years, Its front a district school-house rears: Here congregate a healthy flock, Stout scions of a sturdy stock Here the thwack'd dullard rubs his sconce, Here, ferule-smitten, roars the dunce, Here boy and girl sit side by side, And gallantry gives way to pride About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
