''The Excursion to Tilsit'' is a 1917 collection of short stories or novellas by the German writer Hermann Sudermann. Its German title is ''Litauische Geschichten'', which means "Lithuanian stories". The book consists of four stories set in rural Lithuania in the mid 19th century. It was published in English in 1930, translated by Lewis Galantière. Several stories from the book have been adapted for film. Most famously, F. W. Murnau's 1927 film ''Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans'' is loosely based on the titular story. ==Stories and plots== The Excursion to Tilsit (Die Reise nach Tilsit) A married man is in love with his mistress and plans to drown his wife on the way back from a trip to Tilsit.
