Netrpělivost srdce
Author: Stefan Zweig
4,36 €
Stefan Zweig's only completed novel follows young officer Hofmiller, whose social mistake draws him into the family of a young woman with paralysis. Pity, embarrassment, and fear of judgment lead to a relationship in which good intentions are insufficient and dishonesty becomes moral failure.
At a wealthy landowner's country house, the lieutenant unknowingly offends his daughter Edita over a dance. His attempt to make amends produces visits, promises, and half-truths. Hofmiller wants to ease suffering but fears his fellow officers' opinions and cannot openly name his feelings. Zweig distinguishes fleeting pity, which seeks escape from witnessing pain, from patient solidarity willing to accept responsibility.
