Richard Henry Dana

    1 août 1815 – 6 janvier 1882

    Cet auteur est réputé pour sa représentation brute et réaliste de la vie maritime, issue de son expérience personnelle directe. Son œuvre explore avec acuité les inégalités sociales et l'oppression, dépeignant les difficultés des marins ordinaires avec une profonde empathie et un fort sens de la justice. Grâce à sa singularité d'observation et à sa narration précise, il cherche à exposer les injustices et à plaider pour de meilleures conditions pour ceux qui sont exploités en mer.
