Amok

By Stefan Zweig & Anthea Bell

  • Release Date: 2018-06-26
  • Genre: Short Stories

Description

A new pocket edition of this Conradian tale of maddening desire, from the master of the novella

On a sweltering ocean-liner travelling from India to Europe a passenger tells his story: the tale of a doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his duty and the pull of his emotions; a tale of power and desire, pride and shame and a headlong flight into folly.

This is one the most intense and incisive of the novellas which brought Stefan Zweig to worldwide fame.

    Well told short story with a 'heart of darkness' atmosphere.
