Richard Henry Dana called this book a "a voice from the sea". It had an influence on both Joseph Conrad and Herman Melville, both of whom sang its praises. Dana was a law student at Harvard College who decided, in 1834, to take a break from his studies in order to experience the "real world" by signing on as a common sailor for a two year voyage from Boston around Cape Horn to California. He kept a journal which he turned into a book after the voyage.

boring
Revisado: 07-03-06
I gave this book a three star rating because of the abismal reading, probably on a par with a seventh grade student. The reader had obviously not done any research into correct pronunciation and gave the impression of being thoroughly bored by his job. This spoils an excellent historical document which is well written and more than worth the read, but not the listen.
