The Collected Stories of Stefan Zweig

In this magnificent collection of Stefan Zweig’s short stories the very best and worst of human nature are captured with sharp observation, understanding and vivid empathy. A knock on a door that forces a whole community to take flight, an ageing womaniser who meets his match, a love soured into awful cruelty-these stories present a master at work, at the top of his form.
