About This Book

The narrator recounts a two-month journey among compatriots in America, combining travel diary and social observation. He describes departure from a coastal emigration hotel, stormy Atlantic crossings with widespread seasickness, and short stops in European ports before the voyage. Vivid sketches portray passengers' varied reasons for leaving, their homesickness and farewell rituals, and shipboard communal life during Christmas. In the United States he delivers numerous public talks, records warm receptions and active social networks, and observes both hardship and communal pride. Recurring themes are attachment to homeland, the emotional and practical costs of migration, and everyday life within immigrant settlements.
