Produced by David Widger "One Of Them" by Charles James Lever is a novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the lives of various characters, primarily English travelers in Italy, as they navigate their relationships and personal struggles against the vibrant backdrop of Italian culture and scenery. The interactions between the English characters and a mix of Americans and Italians hint at the contrasts in national identity and social class. The opening of the novel sets the stage in the picturesque environment of Italy, describing a tranquil scene at sunset where two English travelers, an elderly man and his son, sit outside a café in Florence. They engage in a light-hearted conversation about the eccentricities of fellow tourists, including an American they have encountered. This initial juxtaposition of characters reveals their personalities, particularly the father's more open and jovial nature in contrast to the son's critical and somewhat snobbish demeanor. As they enjoy their surroundings, we are introduced to the broader socio-cultural context that will inform the dynamics of their future encounters with other travelers and locals, foreshadowing comedic misunderstandings and social commentary that are typical of Lever's style.
