Set in Rembrandt's Amsterdam, 'An Obscure Man' is the story of Nathanael--innocent, open to experience--born 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. ''An Obscure Man' swarms with life. This intricately researched, imaginative, beautifully written tale of a young man's brief life in the mid-17th century is entirely engrossing.'--Leona Weiss, 'San Francisco Chronicle' 'In these three stories, [Yourcenar] succeeds in making the essences of these past lives a part of the reader's future through the sheer intensity of their portrayal.'--Margaret Ezell, 'Houston Chronicle'.
