'One of the masters of the short story' Guardian 'I have to tell you - you see, this is just about the strangest experience I have been through...'These six stories of obsession, secrets, delusions and desires from one of the greatest European writers show individuals caught up in forces beyond their control - whether an art dealer agreeing to a heartbreaking deception, a soldier destroyed by war, a servant infatuated with her employer or a young boy witnessing illicit adult passions.
Portraying innocence lost and lives crushed by history, each tale is a psychologically acute, startling human drama. Translated by Jonathan Katz

Biographie de Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna to a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. Recognition as a writer came early for Zweig; by the age of forty, he had already won literary fame. In 1934, with Nazism entrenched, Zweig left Austria for England, and became a British citizen in 1940. In 1941 he and his second wife went to Brazil, where they committed suicide. Zweig's best-known works of fiction are Beware of Pity (1939) and Chess (1942), but his most outstanding accomplishments were his many biographies, which were based on psychological interpretation.
