These four tragic and moving cameos of the human condition are played out against cosmopolitan and colonial backgrounds in the first half of the twentieth century. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born 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. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and 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 moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling 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.</p>...942947Amok and other Stories202246https://www.gandhi.com.mx/amok-and-other-stories-9781906548544/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/879140/91ca1d3c-516f-417f-8ab8-ca77626cd0e5.jpg?v=638835918069530000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20079781906548544_W3siaWQiOiI4NTUxNjA1NC0xZDgyLTQ2NmEtODNjNy1mZTliZGYzYjYzMzgiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjIyOSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjI3LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjIwMiwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMDVUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781906548544_<p>Four unforgettable tales of love, devotion, madness and war A doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his medical duty to help and his own mixed emotions; a middle-aged maidservant whose devotion to her master leads her to commit a terrible act; a hotel waiter whose love for an unapproachable aristocratic beauty culminates in an almost lyrical death;a prisoner-of-war longing to be home again in Russia.
