Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Through a mixture of moral cowardice and pity, a cavalry officer becomes entangled in the sufferings of a young girl. His attempts to evade the consequences of his behaviour are to prove fatal.

Biografía del autor:

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna to a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. Recognition as a writer came early for Zweig; by the age of forty, he had already won literary fame. In 1934, with Nazism entrenched, Zweig left Austria for England, and became a British citizen in 1940. In 1941 he and his second wife went to Brazil, where they committed suicide. Zweig's best-known works of fiction are Beware of Pity (1939) and The Royal Game (1944), but his most outstanding accomplishments were his many biographies, which were based on psychological interpretation.
