Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York—a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.
These four Stefan Zweig stories newly translated by the award-winning Anthea Bell, are among his most celebrated and compelling work. The titular tale is a devastating depiction of unrequited love, which inspired a classic Hollywood film, directed by Max Ophüls and starring Joane Fontaine.
Elsewhere in the collection, a young man mistakes the girl he loves for her sister, two erstwhile lovers meet after an age spent apart, and a married woman repays a debt of gratitude to her childhood sweetheart. Expertly paced, laced with the acutely accurate psychological detail and empathy that are Zweig's trademarks, this is a powerful addition to Pushkin's growing collection of his work.

2017-05 原版文字美到爆炸,那些形容女性内心和寂寞感情的英文已经完美的可以成为范本。只是故事情节实在是“可圈可点”,看得我只想骂娘。
评分悲伤的故事,苦楚的单恋,缘分很奇怪在一个人身上烙下终身的印记而深陷其中,而另一方却奈何明月照沟渠。这种遗憾从古至今不断的上演,茨威格笔触的细腻和敏感,让之成为经典。读完英文版,淡淡的清冷爬上心头,红尘滚滚游戏人间宴席散去,又拿什么慰藉那永恒的落寞荒凉,不成眠。
评分The title story was very powerful - are there any better words to describe an unannounced and unnoticed love?
