About this eBook

Author Nagai, Kafu, 1879-1959
Title あめりか物語
Alternate Title Amerika Monogatari
Credits Produced by Sachiko Hill and Kaoru Tanaka
Summary "あめりか物語" by Kafu Nagai is a fictional narrative written during the late 19th century. The work appears to explore themes of travel and identity, as it follows the experiences of the narrator and other characters as they journey from Japan to America, particularly touching on their interactions and observations during the voyage and in American society. The opening of the narrative begins with the narrator reflecting on their ocean voyage to America, detailing the monotony and isolation of sailing across the Pacific, where the vast sea offers little scenery to break the tedium. We are introduced to fellow travelers aboard the ship, including a gentleman named 柳田, who engages in discussions about their respective experiences and expectations in America. As the journey progresses, the tone takes a contemplative turn, as the characters reveal their ambitions, hopes, and existential musings about life, identity, and the challenges faced as immigrants in a foreign land. The initial interactions set the stage for deeper explorations of cultural contrasts and personal narratives in the chapters to come. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
