Summary "The Works of Robert Louis Stevenson - Swanston Edition, Vol. 02" by Stevenson is a collection of essays and narratives written in the late 19th century. This volume features "The Amateur Emigrant," which captures the experiences of individuals aboard an emigrant ship from Europe to America, focusing on their diverse backgrounds and the emotional complexities of leaving home. Through Stevenson’s vivid storytelling, readers explore themes of aspiration and melancholy inherent in the immigrant experience. The opening of this volume introduces the reader to the somber atmosphere aboard an emigrant ship as passengers grapple with their uncertain future. Stevenson sets the scene by detailing the ship's layout and the distinctions between the steerage and second cabin conditions, humorously contrasting his own comforts as a second cabin passenger with the struggles of those in steerage. He highlights human connections that arise amidst the gloom, showcasing a variety of characters—from fellow travelers to those overtaken by sea sickness—each with their poignant stories, aspirations, and fears about the journey ahead. This vivid portrayal of shared human experiences on the ship invites readers to reflect on the dreams and hardships of those seeking a new life in America.
