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, he 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.
These four Stefan Zweig stories newly translated by the award-winning Anthea Bell, are among his most celebrated and compelling work. The titular tale is a devastating depiction of unrequited love, which inspired a classic Hollywood film, directed by Max Ophüls and starring Joane Fontaine.
Elsewhere in the collection, a young man mistakes the girl he loves for her sister, two erstwhile lovers meet after an age spent apart, and a married woman repays a debt of gratitude to her childhood sweetheart. Expertly paced, laced with the acutely accurate psychological detail and empathy that are Zweig's trademarks, this is a powerful addition to Pushkin's growing collection of his work.

圖書標籤: 茨威格 陌生女人的來信 英文 StefanZweig 經典 小說 外國文學 告白
極好,青春期少女對成年男性的暗戀,熾烈的激情背後暗藏著的危機,從觀察和想象中拼湊齣的暗戀對象是青春的饋贈。The debt paid late讀的熱淚盈眶。
評分I believed that were you to summon me from my deathbed i should find strength to rise in answer to your call.人生無非得到與失去,渴望與疲憊,而她獨自走在渴望的路上,從未疲憊。
評分一個陌生女人的來信根本就是終極stalker自白嘛! 後麵幾篇描繪的感情要含蓄一些 我最喜歡The Debt Paid Late 茨威格難得這麼人間自有真情在!
評分LFAUW: an invisible line between a stranger and the one who loves you more than anything in the world讀到最後泣不成聲 因為喜歡過鄰傢男孩所以明白她所有的感受 好想安慰她我懂你說得我都體驗過 真的是感同身受纔能理解那個invisible woman那麼充沛又那麼隱忍剋製的愛 A story told in twilight開始覺得很一般但是又讀瞭幾遍越來越喜歡 開頭簡直有張愛玲的感覺 embracing and kissing your crush in the darkness must be most romantic things when you were fifteen 造化弄人
評分悲傷的故事,苦楚的單戀,緣分很奇怪在一個人身上烙下終身的印記而深陷其中,而另一方卻奈何明月照溝渠。這種遺憾從古至今不斷的上演,茨威格筆觸的細膩和敏感,讓之成為經典。讀完英文版,淡淡的清冷爬上心頭,紅塵滾滾遊戲人間宴席散去,又拿什麼慰藉那永恒的落寞荒涼,不成眠。
