Talking about Stefan Zweig (Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, 1942) means talking about a witness of his time. A cosmopolitan author longing for a Europe he saw unraveling, he published an extensive body of work in which he stood out as a chronicler, narrator, and biographer, achieving significant success among readers. The four short stories contained in this volume (Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Invisible Collection, and The Refugee) represent four undeniable achievements in Zweig’s narrative production, as well as some of his most representative and critically acclaimed pieces.
A highly recommended edition for a critical and contextualized reading of these selected stories by one of the most celebrated authors of the 20th century.
