White Jacket; Or, The World on a Man-of-War
De Herman Melville
Duração15h 41m
Sobre este audiolivro
The wooden walls of a massive warship become a floating prison and a theater of human cruelty for a young sailor in a white coat. Through his eyes, we witness the rigid hierarchies, the brutal punishments, and the unexpected camaraderie of life at sea. Melville delivers a searing critique of naval discipline and a powerful plea for human dignity.
