Near the end of this stor
Near the end of this story, the devil, huge as a cliff, watches a ship from the rocks of Gibraltar. Told that Carmela and Guiseppe, famous to tourists all over the world, would dance the Tarantella at his Naples hotel, the title character thinks lustfully of Carmela's "enticing eyes, looking like a mulatto," but dies of a spasm in the reading room. The huge masses of machinery and thousand-ton boilers of the steamer Atlantis, where the title character's corpse is kept, are contrasted with the warm staterooms above where title American's daughter flirts with a prince. FTP, name this short story in which the unnamed, plutocratic title character's two-year cruise is interrupted by his death on Capri, by Ivan Bunin.
