Description
"The author 'shipped out of Boston in 1834 on the "Pilgrim" and sailed around the Horn to California on a hide-trading expedition. The book is based on the journal he kept during the voyage. Horrified by the brutal captain's mistreatment of the sailors, and shocked by their lack of redress, Dana wrote with a burning indignation that did much to rouse the public to the mariners' plight.'" Benet's Reader's Ency of Am Lit.

Description
"A beautiful story of a group of American and English expatriates in Paris on an excursion to Pamplona. This features the Left Bank of Paris in the 1920s and brutally realistic descriptions of bullfighting in Spain. It is the story of flamboyant Lady Brett Ashely and the hapless Jake Barnes in an age of moral bankruptcy, spiritual dissolution, unrealized love and vanishing illusions." --
