About this eBook

Author Gerstäcker, Friedrich, 1816-1872
Title Nach Amerika! Ein Volksbuch. Erster Band
Summary "Nach Amerika! Ein Volksbuch. Erster Band" by Friedrich Gerstäcker is a fictional work written in the mid-19th century. This volume is described as a narrative that revolves around the phenomenon of emigration from Germany to America, exploring the various motivations and experiences of different characters. The opening chapters introduce a range of individuals, including the wealthy Dollinger family and their social circle, along with emigrants contemplating their departure for the New World. At the start of the story, the reader is invited into a family celebration for Clara Dollinger, which serves as a backdrop to the discussions about the allure and challenges of relocating to America. The narrative contrasts the lives of the prosperous Dollingers and their acquaintances with the struggles of those planning to emigrate, revealing varied perceptions about leaving one's homeland. Characters express hopes, fears, and aspirations associated with the journey, while also highlighting societal tensions regarding wealth and opportunity. Through engaging dialogue and character interactions, Gerstäcker sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the immigrant experience and the changing German society of his time.
