  1. Twilight : Moonbeam alley

    Zweig, Stefan, 1881-1942
    London : Pushkin, 2005.

    "Twilight" is the story of a fashionable lady who is banished from Versailles by the king. She tries to make the best of living on her country estate, but although she entertains lovers and friends from Paris, she comes to find it intolerable. Life at court, for all its essential emptiness, was the only thing that gave her existence meaning, and she moves inexorably towards suicide. In Moonbeam Alley, a traveller delayed in a French port explores the sailors' quarter. Enticed by a voice singing an aria, to a bar near the harbour, he learns the story of those who run it and frequent it: a tale of violence, unrequited passion, and a marriage that is no true marriage.

  2. The collected novellas of Stefan Zweig

    Zweig, Stefan, 1881-1942
    London : Pushkin Press, 2015.

    A casual introduction, a challenge to a simple game of chess, a lovers' reunion, a meaningless infidelity: from such small seeds Zweig brings forth five startlingly tense tales-meditations on the fragility of love, the limits of obsession, the combustibility of secrets and betrayal. To read anything by Zweig is to risk addiction; in this collection the power of his writing-which, with its unabashed intensity and narrative drive, made him one of the bestselling and most acclaimed authors in the world-is clear and irresistible. Each of these stories is a bolt of experience, unforgettable and unique.

  3. The invisible collection ; Buchmendel

    Zweig, Stefan, 1881-1942
    London : Pushkin, 1998.

    Linked by the theme of obsessive intensity, these novellas explore the nature of desire by showing two lives led in the single-minded pursuit of art and literature, and of existential truth against the background of a corrupt and disintegrating Europe.
