Due anni a prora by Richard Henry Dana, Jr.

Due anni a prora

By

Description

La vita a bordo di uno degli ultimi mercantili a vela in navigazione tra il 1834 e il 1836 da Boston alla California (doppiando quindi due volte Capo Horn). Stavolta chi scrive non è un ufficiale o un romanziere. Queste pagine sono autentiche perché scritte da un giovane marinaio. È il primo resoconto della vita a bordo dei velieri alla fine dell’Ottocento. “Two years before the mast” è il libro più celebre della marineria velica americana. L’autore racconta le manovre in tutte le condizioni meteo: un patrimonio tecnico che il velista apprezza.
