Description
In this magnificent collection of The Collected Stories of Stefan Zweig, the very best and worst of human nature are captured with sharp observation, understanding, and vivid empathy. A knock on a door that forces a whole community to take flight, an ageing womaniser who meets his match, a love soured into awful cruelty—these stories present a master at work, at the top of his form.
Translated by the award-winning Anthea Bell.

About the Author
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, Zweig 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.
