Richard Henry Dana Boeken

    1 augustus 1815 – 6 januari 1882

    Deze auteur staat bekend om zijn rauwe en realistische weergave van het zeemansleven, voortkomend uit directe persoonlijke ervaring. Zijn werk onderzoekt scherp sociale ongelijkheden en onderdrukking, en portretteert de ontberingen van de gewone zeelui met diepe empathie en een sterk rechtvaardigheidsgevoel. Door zijn unieke observatievermogen en precieze verteltrant poogt hij onrechtvaardigheden bloot te leggen en te pleiten voor betere omstandigheden voor degenen die op zee worden uitgebuit.
