The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories

A middle-aged American millionaire from San Francisco takes his wife and daughter on a long vacation. They travel around the world, eventually coming to Naples. Disheartened by inclement weather and the decrepit state of the city, they decide to travel to the beautiful island of Capri-where he dies, and a different story emerges. The Gentleman from San Francisco and Other Stories is a brilliant collection of Nobel laureate Ivan Bunin's short fiction translated by both Leonard Woolf and D.H. Lawrence, with the help of Samuil Koteliansky.
