Narration Conducive To Books Wondrak and Other Stories

Compulsion, In the Snow and Wondrak all concern Zweig's strong anti-war feelings following the First World War. The artist Ferdinand, central figure of Compulsion, partly reflects Zweig's own experience. In The Snow tells of the plight of a group of Jews who freeze to death while trying to escape a medieval pogrom. In Wondrak, a woman, disfigured since birth, attempts to save her only child from being drafted into the military. In this newly available English translation the reader discovers the essential humanist preoccupations of the author of Amok and Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman: his compassion towards human suffering, his horror of war and his faith in idealism, generosity, love values that can, in an instant, illuminate an entire existence.

Crit Out Of Books Wondrak and Other Stories

Les nouvelles de Zweig se lisent vraiment très bien et son style est tout de même superbe. Une belle façon de finir l'année ... Allez, le prochain Zweig sera 24h dans la vie d'une femme...

We feel revulsion not for the negligent designer but for the innocent thing it has designed.Parents may shake their fists at God if their child is born imperfect, but society is more likely to spurn the child than God.This is a story of the power of simply getting on with life, and the transformative power of maternal love. Zweig didn't finish writing it, but it doesnt feel incomplete; you just dont know what happens next. I read this as one of the stories in the collection titled The Invisible

Comme toujours, Zweig est magistral!!

He and his second wife committed suicide in 1942.Zweig studied in Austria,Zwei Geschichten, davon die zweite ziemlich gut. Ein Maler hat es in die Schweiz geschafft, wo er die Einberufung in den Krieg erhält. Und wie unter einem Zwang, obwohl es den in der neutralen Schweiz eigentlich nicht geben sollte, fährt er, sich gegen sein besseres Wissen und seine Frau stellend. Im letzten Moment an der Grenze sieht er den Krieg und kehrt doch um.

A selection which is part of the 2010 Author Theme read on LibraryThing.com.............Finished the three short stories found in [Wondrak and other stories]. I was, as I am sure it occurs commonly, left pofoundly touched by "Wondrak" and it's unfinished ending. I spent a lot of time considering where the author was at that time in his life, in Brazil, and what his state of mind was. I have to also wonder why the story was entitled, "Wondrak". He was a bureaucratic clerk, while the main
