Este breve relato incursiona magistralmente en los misterios del alma humana. El mayor elogio hecho a este libro procedi� de Gorki quien declar� nunca haber le�do nada m�s profundo. En una peque�a y burguesa pensi�n de la Riviera, donde vive el autor, un hecho ha conmocionado a todos los que all� residen: una honorable francesa, fina y exquisita, casada y madre de familia, ha abandonado marido e hijas para irse con un joven seductor a las pocas horas de haberlo conocido. A ra�z de ello, una anciana arist�crata inglesa, hu�sped tambi�n de la pensi�n, relata al autor de la obra un episodio vivido en su juventud, bastante similar al que ha conmovido a los veraneantes.

About the Author:

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was an outstanding Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist, and biographer whose work became very popular in the US, South America, and Europe especially between the 1920s and 1930s. In 1904 he earned his doctorate degree in philosophy at the University of Vienna. Throughout his life he remained a pacifist, and instead of becoming a soldier at the start of World War I, he worked in the Archives of the Ministry of War. He became friends with notable people in history, including Romain Rolland, Sigmund Freud, and Arthur Schitzler. Among his most famous writings are Beware of Pity, Chess Story, and his memoir The World of Yesterday.
