Commentary Concering Books Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme
Scandale dans une pension de famille « comme il faut », sur la Côte d'Azur du début du siècle : Mme Henriette, la femme d'un des clients, s'est enfuie avec un jeune homme qui pourtant n'avait passé là qu'une journée... Seul le narrateur tente de comprendre cette « créature sans moralité », avec l'aide inattendue d'une vieille dame anglaise très distinguée, qui lui expliquera quels feux mal éteints cette aventure a ranimés chez elle. Ce récit d'une passion foudroyante, bref et aigu comme les affectionnait l'auteur d'Amok et du Joueur d'échecs, est une de ses plus incontestables réussites.List Of Books Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme

In the late 1930s a man sat down to write a book for a woman who wouldn't be born for many decades, and wouldn't read it for many more. This book belongs only to me. I'm going to go cry in my room.Happy New Year.It's my first encounter with Steven Zweig and after reading a few pages a query I posed to myself in contemplation that why I waited so long to read this author, such was the impact of Zweig. The author had precision of a sculptor to craft sentences with just enough verbosity but with deep observations to put forth the deep secrets, of human beings, which are buried well below the layers of bygone times. I guess there are other people like me who easily gets bored from things if they stick for
I am fond of Zweig's great ability with describing the interior of human nature's soul.. He is officially one of my top favorite authors!. ❤🙌
Sublime. Full review to follow.
Beware, Stefan Zweig is a beguiling seducer who is always one move ahead of you, the reader, the vulnerable object of his desires.Zweig sets his short novella, "Twenty Four Hours in the Life of a Woman" in a Monte Carlo hotel and it only takes him six paragraphs to set the stage with an overture to the main plot, a young wife inexplicably leaves her husband and children for a twenty-year-old she has known for a day or so. The husband is mortally crushed and humiliated. This is but the prelude.
What wonderful writing. Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman was full of piercing insights into human nature and combined with delicate, masterful prose made this novella a delight to read.
Originally written in 1927 and translated from original German, this novella is my first reading of Austrian born Zweig. I was delighted to be drawn into the story immediately, and intrigued all along the way. The writing is charming and captivating. It's a story about passion, impulsivity, loneliness, convention and guilt. An elderly woman tells the narrator the story of a 24 hour span in her life that took place many years prior, which has haunted and shaped the rest of her life. While the
