The Amateur Emigrants is a novel written by Thomas Cobb and published in 1907. The story revolves around the journey of two young English couples who decide to emigrate to New Zealand in search of a better life. The main characters, Mark and Grisel, and their friends, Ned and Sophie, leave behind their comfortable lives in England to embark on a perilous journey across the world. The novel is divided into two parts, with the first part depicting the journey from England to New Zealand, and the second part focusing on the challenges the couples face as they settle in their new home. The journey itself is fraught with danger, as the couples face storms, illness, and even a shipwreck. Once they arrive in New Zealand, the couples must navigate a new and unfamiliar world. They encounter cultural differences, language barriers, and the harsh realities of life in a new colony. Despite these challenges, they are determined to make a new life for themselves and their families. Throughout the novel, Cobb explores themes of identity, belonging, and the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. The Amateur Emigrants is a powerful and moving account of the immigrant experience and a testament to the strength of the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
