Italian tales: Man and the Simplon. An unwritten sonata. Sun and sea. Love of lovers. Hearts and creeds. The traitor's mother. The freak. The might of motherhood. A message from the sea. The honour of the village. The socialist. The hunchback. On the steamer.
Russian tales: The professor. The poet. The writer. The man with a national face. The liberal. The Jews and their friends. Hard to please. Passive resistance. Making a superman.
