William Clark Russell fu un popolare scrittore americano rinomato per i suoi romanzi di mare e racconti horror. I suoi otto anni di servizio come marinaio gli fornirono un'ampia esperienza, che riversò nella sua prolifica produzione letteraria. Le sue opere, alcune delle quali raggiunsero una notevole popolarità ai loro tempi, raffigurano vividamente avventura ed eroismo in mare. I critici moderni notano somiglianze tra i suoi elementi horror e i racconti di William Hope Hodgson.






In this book, Russell presents a collection of rhymes recited by various sailors during their voyages. It is a fascinating glimpse into the everyday life of seafarers during the time period.
