A woman’s feelings know everything without words, without conscious awareness.
In this moving story, Zweig, in his typical eloquent way depicts a single day in the life of an English widow, portraying how within the space of just twenty four hours her life changes by a chance encounter with a gambler on the verge of committing suicide.
Some things we either do or do not understand. Perhaps you need a burning heart to comprehend them fully.
Primer acercamiento a este autor. Excelente prosa. Un relato cortito muy interesante.
How can we convey so many emotions in so few pages and words? Mr. Zweig, are you a magician? A wizard of words?
I burned with curiosity when I read this novel. I wanted to know the secret that was gnawing at this old lady. The passion of one day and the disillusionment of so many years. What pain! But what a sublime pain. Of course, it's somewhat ambiguous as a phenomenon. But, one must admit that Stefan Zweig is an outstanding storyteller and leads you quietly where he decides: in the world of passion (or passions) and the urgent and senseless decisions that generate it.
Zweig has the gift of profoundly and modestly simultaneously entering into the intimacy of his heroes' feelings and keeping his readers in suspense, and it is simply sublime!

" أقّر بأن السأم هو الباعث على الهروب من ذلك الخواء المعذّب للنفس، الخواء الذي يولد فينا الاشمئزاز، ويجدّ لأن يقع له على مخرجٍ في البواعث الخارجية الصغيرة على الأقل. "
رواية تقدر تنهيها في جلسة واحدة ، ابدع الكاتب في وصف كل المشاعر الباعثة في نفس شخصية الرواية بتصوير جميل لجميع مشاعرها وتفسيراتها ونواياها تجاه الحدث اللي صار (حدث ال٢٤ ساعة اللي تفضفض فيه لأول مره) .
