Andrea Sperelli aspettava nelle sue stanze un'amante. Tutte le cose a torno rivelavano infatti una special cura d'amore.... Quale amante non ha mai provato questo inesprimibile gaudio, in cui par quasi che la potenza sensitiva del tatto si affini così da avere la sensazione senza la immediata materialità del contatto? ...le sfiorò l'omero con le dita, e sentì che ella rabbrividiva.... Con Il Piacere pubblicato nel 1889, Gabriele D’Annunzio introduce nella nostra letteratura il personaggio dell’eroe decadente, in contrasto con il naturalismo e il positivismo allora imperanti.

Mit dem üblichen Augenzwinkern und ebensolchen autobiografischen Anklängen schildert Jack London die Erlebnisse des Halbwüchsigen Joe, der sich frustriert aus der Schule davon macht und kurzentschlossen auf See gehen will.

So manchem Klassikerfreund dürfte diese Geschichte in Elementen vertraut sein: In einer jüngeren "Seewolf"-Verfilmung wurden diese Erzählungen als Teil der Jugenderlebnisse von "Van Weyden" und "Larsen" integriert.
