Governess

Two innocent children who are introduced to the cruelty of the adult world while their governess becomes the victim of a strict sense of morality; A wise gentleman who entered into a cruel game by writing unsigned love letters to a young girl he had his eye on, in the serene atmosphere of a hotel on the shores of Lake Como; A married woman who meets the platonic love of her youth in a small restaurant in the Tyrolean Alps and finds the opportunity to repay the debt she felt years ago to this man, who is now in love and old; The soil dried with thirst and the distressed wait for rain, expressed in a young girl's semi-hysterical search for compassion. In this story collection, Zweig analyzes human flaws, longings, and the hindering situations he encounters with empathy, with his mastery in transforming transformative experiences into solid narratives.
