Set in Rembrandt's Amsterdam, An Obscure Man is the story of Nathanael - innocent, open to experience, borne like Everyman upon the stream of life. In A Lovely Morning, Nathanael's young son joins a touring company of Jacobean actors. Anna, soror..., the final tale, is an account of illicit passion in the baroque world of Naples.
