In the autumn of his days, a distinguished privy councillor contemplates his past, looking back at the key moments of his life.

But the professor harbors a dark secret which changes and scars both men forever.

Recensione:
'Confusion is one of his finest and most exemplary works ... a marvellously poised account of misunderstood motives, thwarted love, and sublimated desires ... a perfect reminder of, or introduction to, Zweig's economy and subtlety as a writer. --ROBERT MACFARLANE Times Literary Supplement
Passion and dedication ... Outside the works of Plato, I don't think I have ever read a better or more honest account of what ill always remain at the heart of teaching.

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear.
In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide.
Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.
