A rich American, having worked all his life, takes his family on a luxury cruise to Europe and dies suddenly on Capri. Bunin's story shows how little the money and the ship's comforts matter once he is a corpse in a cheap hotel room. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
Summary written with Claude Sonnet 5.5.
