Hawthorne), "Die Braut kommt nach Yellow Sky" (S. Crane), "Der seltsame Fall des Benjamin Button" (F. S. Fitzgerald).

Bei F. Scott Fitzgerald nimmt die exaltierte Welt der Reichen und Schönen und der Emporkömmlinge mitunter bizarre Formen an, das zeigen aufs Unterhaltsamste die hier versammelten Kurzgeschichten.
