Wes Anderson on Stefan Zweig: "I had never heard of Zweig...when I just more or less by chance bought a copy of "Beware of Pity." I loved this first book. I also read the "The Post-Office" "Girl." "The Grand Budapest Hotel" has elements that were sort of stolen from both these books. Two characters in our story are vaguely meant to represent Zweig himself our Author character, played by Tom Wilkinson, and the theoretically fictionalised version of himself, played by Jude Law. But, in fact, M. Gustave, the main character who is played by Ralph Fiennes, is modelled significantly on Zweig as well."The post-office girl is Christine, who looks after her ailing mother and toils in a provincial Austrian post office in the years just after the Great War. One afternoon, as she is dozing among the official forms and stamps, a telegraph arrives addressed to her. It is from her rich aunt, who lives in America and writes requesting that Christine join her and her husband in a Swiss Alpine resort. After a dizzying train ride, Christine finds herself at the top of the world, enjoying a life of privilege that she had never imagined.But Christine s aunt drops her as abruptly as she picked her up, and soon the young woman is back at the provincial post office, consumed with disappointment and bitterness. Then she meets Ferdinand, a wounded but eloquent war veteran who is able to give voice to the disaffection of his generation. Christine s and Ferdinand s lives spiral downward, before Ferdinand comes up with a plan which will be either their salvation or their doom.Never before published in English, this extraordinary book is an unexpected and haunting foray into noir fiction by one of the masters of the psychological novel."

Never thought I'd see NYRB editions among my books, but I got lucky with these two. Will this collection grow? Who knows?

Happy World Book Day, Littens!! 😄📚🌏

BarbaraBB They both are really good so chances are your collection will grow 😉 2y

Finished this one today for #LMPBC. I didn‘t love it, but I am glad I read it. I am an optimistic, pretty happy person and I think the fact that these characters are so grim and negative made this a book that I kept putting down

Kappadeemom @Maggie4483 I am sending this to you today! 2y
Maggie4483 Awesome! I‘ll be on the lookout for it! 2y

I very much liked this book which I read for #LMPBC. It's a Cinderella story with a twist. The interesting thing about it is that it wasn't published until about 40 years after the author's death, and some wonder whether the author intended the story to end as it stands or whether he intended to write more. I quite liked the end. @Kappadeemom @Kimzey @Maggie4483

arubabookwoman I'm sorry I chose a different book than I originally chose. As I read Outlaws by Javier Cercas I found myself having to force myself to read it, and found it repetitious, and I didn't want to inflict it on anyone else so I chose this instead. @Kappadeemom I won't be able to get to the PO til Wednesday, but it will be on its way to you then. @Kimzey @Maggie4483 2y
Kimzey @arubabookwoman Thank you for choosing a book you enjoyed! Most considerate. 😊 I look forward to reading it! Mine will be on it‘s way to you early this week. I chose News of the World, which is good - and short! 2y

“Poverty was crushing all the feeling they had.”

The first quarter of the 20th century it‘s all misery in #Austria. The war, the financial crisis: Christine grows up a victim of her circumstances and leads a joyless life that turns into frustration once she discovers the possibilities of life under different circumstances.

4⭐️ I read The Chess Story last year, and was impressed by Zweig‘s diving in to human psychology. Well, he did it again with this novel. Christine was a poor postal worker, and she tasted the illusion of an upgraded lifestyle. She became a bitter person once she‘s back to poverty, and contemplated ways to get out of it. We see the poor and the rich among us; we, too, have our share of unhappiness... but is it necessary to be bitter all the time?

EadieB I enjoyed Chess too and I have a copy of this one too. Glad to see you enjoyed it! 4y
sisilia @EadieB Oh yay! I‘m going to hunt for other Zweig‘s novels now... I love his writing so much 💕 4y
EadieB @sisilia I also have The Burning Secret:
A suave baron takes a fancy to twelve-year-old Edgar's mother, while the three are holidaying in an Austrian mountain resort. His initial advances rejected, the baron befriends Edgar in order to get closer to the woman he desires. The initially unsuspecting child soon senses something is amiss, but has no idea of the burning secret that is driving the affair, and that will soon change his life for ever.

I liked the first part of this much more than the second. The ending seemed a bit sudden. It definitely felt unfinished-- maybe it was, since the book was published posthumously. Still, I really liked this book.
