'Zweig's fictional masterpiece' GUARDIAN
'An intoxicating, morally shaking read… A real reminder of what fiction can do best' ALI SMITH
'It's just a masterpiece. When I read it I thought, how is it that I don't already know about this?' WES ANDERSON
_______________
The only novel written by one of the most popular writers of the twentieth century
In 1913, young second lieutenant Hofmiller discovers the terrible danger of pity. He had no idea the girl was lame when he asked her to dance-so begins a series of visits, motivated by pity, which relieve his guilt but give her a dangerous glimmer of hope.
Stefan Zweig's unforgettable novel is a devastating depiction of the betrayal of both honour and love, amid the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

    To a certain extent action takes my mind off my troubles, although my uncomfortable memories are still churning away inside my head, and there’s a lump in my throat like a sponge soaked in bitter gall.

    The more I pictured it, the more I thought about it, the more absurd ideas came into my fevered mind. At that moment it seemed to me a hundred times easier to exert a little quick pressure on the trigger of my revolver than to suffer the infernal torments of the next few days, that helpless waiting to find out whether my comrades had yet heard of my folly, whether the whispering and grinning had already begun behind my back. I knew myself only too well; I knew I would never have the strength to withstand the mockery and scorn and tittle-tattle once it began.

    I begin to feel elated, buoyant, even boisterous.

    How my bestie sounds to me when she speaks English:
