Five European writers in translation. Sienkiewicz’s lighthouse keeper on a rock off Aspinwall finds his exile’s heart in a book of Polish verse; Maeterlinck retells the Massacre of the Innocents as if in a Flemish village; Lemonnier, Jókai and the Greek Vikelas contribute “Saint Nicholas Eve”, “In Love with the Czarina” and “The Plain Sister”.
