Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Herman dreamed of adventure. So did Manjiro. Both were desperate to support their families. But neither imagined the heave-ho of a whaling ship could cost them their lives. Within days of each other, two fatherless boys push off to sea in search of adventure and livelihood. One is from a young country open and free, the United States. The other is from an ancient country strict and closed, Japan.
