| Summary | "Reise durch den Stillen Ozean" by Max Buchner is a travelogue written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the experiences of the author, who serves as a ship's doctor on a migrant vessel traveling from Europe to New Zealand. It delves into the challenges faced during the voyage, including storms, interpersonal conflicts among passengers, and the various cultures represented on board. The beginning of the narrative sets the stage for the adventure as the author boards the ship Euphrosyne amidst a chaotic scene of passengers preparing for departure. As they navigate the Elbe River and eventually venture into the North Sea, the ship encounters severe weather conditions, leading to a mix of anxiety and anticipation among the crew and emigrants. The author reflects on his motivations for seeking adventure at sea, contrasting the romantic notion of exploration with the harsh realities of maritime life, as the passengers wrestle with seasickness and the chaos that ensues during their journey.
