    The article with a Nagata threefold, which is the first known example of a non-projective complete algebraic variety. After the discovery of this example in 1958, Fujiki (in 1994) described it as a compactification of the twistor space of the Eguchi-Hanson metric on the bundle \(T^*P^1\) over \(P^1\). A Nagata threefold is obtained in quite easy way from \(P^1\times P^1\times P^1\). Thus it is reasonable to ask, which curves in this triple product are transformed into twistor lines. The author uses very clear and explicit computation to give a precise answer to this question. The result is very concrete: the curves are given by explicit formulae, not in an abstract way. The computations are well explained, mostly elementary and easy to follow. This is a well written paper.
