Tracing an awe-inspiring oceanic route from Boston, around Cape Horn, to
the California coast, Two Years Before the Mast is both a riveting
story of adventure and the most eloquent, insightful account we have of
life at sea in the early nineteenth century. Richard Henry Dana is only
nineteen when he abandons the patrician world of Boston and Harvard for
an arduous voyage among real sailors, amid genuine danger. The result is
an astonishing read, replete with vivid descriptions of storms, whales,
and the ship’s mad captain, terrible hardship and magical beauty, and
fascinating historical detail, including an intriguing portrait of
California before the gold rush. As D. H. Lawrence proclaimed, "Dana’s
small book is a very great book."
