Rendition Supposing 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.

Commentary Appertaining To Books Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d'une femme

Insightful, quick novella that doesn't reach the heights of Zweig's masterful CHESS STORY but reminded me quite a bit of DEATH IN VENICE. The set-up in the first 15 pages is really fun (I love the way this generation of writers needs a first-person justification for a third person narrative, it's realism mingling with the-author-is-present) and the inner-frame that the title references has some excellent moments. There's a particularly good hand description that worth watching out for.And I

People with hand fetish would love this book.

Too moralistic and porcelain for me: it needs Maugham's ironic detachment. Written in the mid 1920s: a rich widow, age 42, sees a handsome young gambler lose all his money at Monte. She goes to bed with him and gives him a wad to be a Good Boy--she's now aquiver!--and spends the next 24 years a wreck, mulling it all over. The lad betrays her, of course, as charmers must. The death of his love reflects her loneliness and missing the fuck. Zweig's schmaltzy point: life depends on the impulse

The heart has its reasons which reason knows not- Blaise Pascal - Le coeur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît point. Petty prejudices, fear of the unknown and the painfulness of having to face ones own shortcomings can swirl one into obnoxious judgmentalness. We, humble and ignorant wizard-apprentices in a life we cannot re-create, might never acquire adequate depth of insight and wisdom to understand another ones or even our own - heart, ones innermost feelings and inner storms. Austrian

A lovely novel about how chance and free will can change one's life, one's thoughts. The story itself also relates to the importance of having a purpose in life, be it real or not, or even spontaneously obsessive until proven "fake". A very touching piece.

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.

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
