Inside the story

Meet Mr. Emerson

Mr. Emerson is an older English traveler staying at the Pension Bertolini in Florence with his son, George. Warm-hearted, unconventional, and bluntly honest, he unsettles the pension’s polite social customs while taking an open, humane view of the people around him.

On the page

An old man of heavy build with a fair, shaven face and large eyes holding something childish in them; his clothes are unfashionable and do not attract the genteel. Speaks with fists planted on the table.
