Description
By (author) Zweig, Stefan
In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to a dance at the home of a rich landowner.There – with a small act of attempted charity – he commits a simple faux pas. But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness and of honour poisoned by self-regard.Beware of Pity has all the intensity and the formidable sense of torment and of character of the very best of Zweig’s work. Definitive translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell.
