In this travel memoir, Stevenson recounts his trip from Scotland to California. He travels by ship to America in order to see his ill ex-wife. His vivid descriptions of life aboard ship during a time when many were immigrating to America, as well as his view of Americans themselves, make for an exciting work.
Über den Autor

He was admired by many authors, and G.K Chesterton said he, “seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen.” His most famous works are Treasure Island, Kidnapped, and the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.
