Impatience of the Heart

The edition is in German. The psychological novel by Austrian writer Stefan Zweig "Impatience of the Heart" is a tragic story of unrequited love between 17-year-old Edith von Kekesfalva, the daughter of a wealthy Hungarian landowner, who is confined to... a wheelchair, and young Austrian lieutenant Anton Hofmiller. Can compassion, cowardly and sentimental, save a loved one, or is it true that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Why did the heart, which loved so passionately and sincerely, not wait for its happy fate? What serious consequences will cowardice and betrayal lead to, and will conscience be able to forget everything and betray to oblivion? As in the best novellas by the author, the novel masterfully describes the psychological nuances through which the feelings and actions of the main characters are revealed. The book is published in an unadapted version. Enjoy the only completed novel by Stefan Zweig in its original form!
