This special edition of TWO YEARS BEFORE THE MAST includes updates 24
and 76 years after the initial voyage. Richard Dana writes so that the
reader can feel the icy Chilean waters, taste the hardtack, and feel
whip upon your flogged back.
Take the voyage with him as he leaves Harvard to travel with a mad
captain around South America to the coasts of California. Feel the same
passions that influenced Herman Melville in writing his book Moby Dick
and made D.H. Lawrence declare, "Dana's small book is a very great
book."
