    Melville wrote of some of his earliest experiences at sea in the story of Wellingborough Redburn, a wet-behind-the-ears youngster whose head was filled with dreams of foreign travel and adventure. In Redburn, the protagonist enlists for a stint as a seaman aboard Highlander, a merchant ship running between New York and London. As with many of Melville's works, this one is as much about class and race as it is about the sea.

    Despite being poor and from a broken home, carefree 8-year-old Paul is a happy and contented lad; that is until his mother marries The BEAST and then everything changes. What he doesn't know, is how to handle the ensuing abuse, neglect and violence. The next 40-plus years of his life constantly flips from black, dark periods of addiction and chaos, followed by white, light bursts of progress. What a disaster and waste - will alcoholism keep him in its vice-like grip? Paul wants to change the world and in particular improve the lives of disadvantaged people; it's a question of bottle - which will he choose - the one filled with courage or the one filled with booze?
