A stunning new edition of a darkly "touching and delightful" tale of seduction, jealousy, and betrayal from the master of the novella (The New York Times)
Bored on holiday at an Austrian mountain resort, the suave Baron takes a fancy to twelve-year-old Edgar's mother. But when his initial advances are rejected, he must turn to other means to carry out his seduction. Instead, he lavishes his attention on Edgar, deploying all of his adult charms and wiles to befriend the boy and get closer to the woman he desires. The initially unsuspecting child soon senses something is amiss, but he has no idea of the burning secret that is driving the affair--and that it will soon change his life forever.

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born 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. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and 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 moved to London, where he wrote his only novel, Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling 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.Les informations fournies dans la section « A propos du livre » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
