Richard Henry Dana

    1 agosto 1815 – 6 gennaio 1882

    Questo autore è rinomato per la sua cruda e realistica rappresentazione della vita marinara, derivante dall'esperienza personale diretta. La sua opera esplora acutamente le disuguaglianze sociali e l'oppressione, ritraendo le difficoltà dei marinai comuni con profonda empatia e un forte senso di giustizia. Attraverso la sua singolare acutezza di osservazione e narrazione precisa, cerca di esporre le ingiustizie e di sostenere migliori condizioni per coloro che vengono sfruttati in mare.
