Forty-eight Stories - forty-eight, imaginary Heroes! People who believe they are who they wish to be. Visionaries, inventors, benefactors, lovers, artists, terrorists, politicians, intellectuals.

They live in their own world, attempting things beyond their powers and unable to realize the magnitude of the difference. Out of place and time, they are unaware of the impossible they desire, the absurdity they dare.

Shopkeepers? Foolish? Megalomaniacs? Small-time crooks? Eccentric? Blunderers? Comedic misadventures, guaranteed immunity for all the hilarity they cause! They are excused due to foolishness. Due to sympathy. And not only...
