'I alone know that I am only just beginning to live.'He is distinguished, rich, a member of fashionable society-utterlybored. But, over the course of one fantastic night, a young Baron becomes a thief, unashamed, and awakes to life for the first time.
This collection is full of tales of infinite passions, of intense encounters that transform lives, a knock on a door that forces a whole community to take flight, a doomed attempt to save a soul poisoned by addiction, a love soured into awful cruelty, of longing and liberation. They are the gripping work of a master storyteller, unmatched and completely unforgettable.
Autoren-Porträt von Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) wuchs als Sohn einer jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie in Wien auf. Er schrieb Gedichte, Novellen, Dramen und Essays, die 1933 der Bücherverbrennung der Nazis zum Opfer fielen. Er lebte von 1919 bis 1934 in Salzburg, emigrierte von dort nach England und 1941 nach Brasilien. Sein episches Werk machte ihn ebenso berühmt wie seine historischen Miniaturen und die biographischen Arbeiten. Am 23. Februar 1942 schied er in Petrópolis, Brasilien, freiwillig aus dem Leben.

Pressezitat
"Zweig's impassioned pursuit of personal freedom seems more relevant than ever." - Newsweek "One of the masters of the short story." - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
"Zweig belongs with those masters of the novella-Maupassant, Turgenev, Chekhov." - Paul Bailey
"One of the joys of recent years is the translation into English of Stefan Zweig's stories. They have an astringency of outlook and a mastery of scale that I find enormously enjoyable." - Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with the Amber Eyes
"For far too long, our links with Zweig... have been broken. Pushkin Press's phenomenal, heartbreaking collection is a reminder that it's time to forge them again." - Los Angeles Review of Books
"Zweig, prolific storyteller and embodiment of a vanished Mitteleuropa, seems to be back, and in a big way." - New York Times
