Summary: "Essays of Travel" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a collection of travel essays written during the late 19th century. The book reflects Stevenson's experiences and observations as he journeys from Europe to America, providing insight into the lives of the emigrants with whom he shares his voyage. In particular, it delves into the complexities and realities of emigration, showcasing both the hopeful aspirations and the harsh realities faced by those seeking a new life across the ocean. The opening of "Essays of Travel" introduces readers to the author's journey aboard an ocean steamer bound for America, chronicling his interactions with fellow passengers. Stevenson notices the varied backgrounds of the travelers, from Scots and Irish to Scandinavians and Americans, each with their own stories and reasons for displacement. He provides vivid descriptions of the conditions in both the steerage and the second cabin, highlighting the differences in class and comfort aboard the ship. Through reflective and often humorous prose, he explores themes of identity, hope, and the human condition in the context of emigration, setting the stage for a broader commentary on society and personal relationships as the trip unfolds.
