Inspired by a number of amorous adventures, Damien becomes a renowned linguist and short story writer.

Damien becomes a famous linguist and a writer of short stories in both French and Italian. Giuseppe Spremuta is the Italian administrator who befriends him, and the five young women lovers who inspire him to write are Biquette, Esmeralda, Juliette, La Contessa, and Annunziata.
