The Letter from an Unknown Woman

Austrian writer Stefan Zweig succeeded like no other in candidly and, at the same time, as tactfully as possible, conveying with words the entire sharpness of sensual experiences and the subtlest movements of the human soul.

Zweig's novellas are captivating in their plots, full of dramatic intensity and tension, and show how defenseless the human heart is, how fickle human destinies are, and what deeds, and sometimes crimes, passion drives a person to.

The collection includes the most lyrical, the most poignant novellas of the writer.
