书籍简介

在这部宏伟的短篇小说集里，斯特凡·茨威格用敏锐的观察力、理解力和生动的同理心抓住了人性中最好和最坏的一面。一声敲门声迫使整个社区的人都逃跑了，一个上了年纪的女人遇到了他的对手，一种变得可怕的残忍的爱——这些故事展现了一个处于巅峰状态的工作大师。本书由获奖作家安西娅·贝尔(Anthea Bell)翻译。

In this magnificent collection of Stefan Zweig's short stories the very best and worst of human nature are captured with sharp observation, understanding and vivid empathy. A knock on a door that forces a whole community to take flight, an aging womaniser who meets his match, a love soured into awful cruelty-these stories present a master at work, at the top of his form. Translated by the award-winning Anthea Bell

媒体推荐

将贝尔的英语翻译与德语原文进行比较，可以发现她很少偏离茨威格的语言，而当她偏离的时候，是在追求原文的审美和心理精神，而不是单纯的机械的准确性…茨威格是契诃夫(Chekhov)、康拉德(Conrad)和莫泊桑(Maupassant)的文学继承人，同时还带着叔本华(Schopenhauer)对心理学的观察式思考。《斯蒂芬·茨威格短篇小说集》是一本具有重要文化和历史意义的大书，普希金出版社以如此引人入胜的篇幅出版了这本书，为文学界做出了贡献。——奥克拉·艾略特，The Harvard Review Online

是什么让茨威格得到了数百万读者的狂热追捧?是什么让他得到了赫尔曼·黑塞的赞赏?是什么让茨威格受邀在西格蒙德·弗洛伊德的葬礼上致悼词?要了解这一点，我们就必须有一本全面阐述他作品的传记，一本读过他所有作品的传记，一本挑战而不是接受他对自己生活和工作的谦逊陈述的传记。——本杰明·莫泽，《读书论坛》

1922年的中篇小说《疯狂》(最近在普希金出版社的故事集中再版，由安西娅·贝尔翻译)…是典型的茨威格，善于制造悬念，剧情可预测(女人在第四幕总是死去，所以男人在第五幕有一个故事要讲)，浸透在当时隐含的习俗中，茨威格以他的谦逊方式加以调整，把干净堕胎描述为比衣架更好的选择……《疯狂》是一个引人注目的故事:它细致地描绘了医生的情感过程，压缩过程，以及几乎同样敏锐地观察到的姿势、动作和对话中的紧张沉默。——加里·印第安纳，《读书论坛》

“太久以来，我们与茨威格的联系，曾经轻易地被扔进了文学史的垃圾桶，已经被打破了。普希金出版社的这一系列惊人而令人心碎的作品提醒我们，是时候再次打造它们了。”——塔拉·伯顿，洛杉矶书评

每一个故事都有一个求助的请求，一丝希望和最终的背叛。——《纽约每日新闻》

"a comparison between Bell’s English rendering and the original German reveals that she rarely deviates from Zweig’s language—and when she does, it is in pursuit of the aesthetic and psychological spirit of the original over artless mechanical accuracy. . . Zweig is at once the literary heir of Chekhov, Conrad, and Maupassant, with something of Schopenhauer’s observational meditations on psychology thrown in. The Collected Stories of Stefan Zweig is a major book of cultural and historical importance, and Pushkin Press has done the literary world a service by releasing it in such an attractive volume." — Okla Elliott, The Harvard Review Online

“What did Zweig have that brought him the fanatical devotion of millions of readers, the admiration of Herman Hesse, the invitation to give the eulogy at the funeral of Sigmund Freud? To learn that, we would have to have a biography that illuminated all aspects of his work, that read all of his books, and that challenged, rather than accepted, the apparent modesty of his statements about his life and work.” – Benjamin Moser, Bookforum

“Amok, a 1922 novella (recently reissued in Pushkin Press’s Collected Stories, translated by Anthea Bell). . . is quintessentially Zweig, masterful in generating suspense, operatically predictable (the woman always dies in Act Four, so the man has a story to tell in Act Five), and drenched in the implicit mores of the day, which Zweig tweaked in his modest fashion by depicting a clean abortion as a better option than a coat hanger. . . . Amok is a compelling story: for its meticulous portrait of the doctor’s emotional process, its compression, and the almost identically sharp observations of gestures, movements, the charged silences in a conversation.” – Gary Indiana, Bookforum

"For far too long, our links with Zweig, all too readily consigned to the dustbin of literary history, have been broken. Pushkin Press’s phenomenal, heartbreaking collection is a reminder that it’s time to forge them again." - Tara Burton, Los Angeles Review of Books

"With each story there is a plea for help, a flicker of hope and an ultimate betrayal." - The New York Daily News

作者简介

1881年，斯特凡·茨威格（Stefan Zweig）出生于维也纳一个富有的奥地利犹太家庭。他在柏林和维也纳学习，最初以诗人和翻译家而闻名，后来成为传记作家。在两次世界大战之间，茨威格成为了国际畅销书作家，他的一系列中篇小说都非常畅销，其中包括《一个陌生女人的来信》(Letter from a Unknown Woman)、《杀人狂》(Amok)和《恐惧》(Fear)。1934年，随着纳粹主义的兴起，他离开了奥地利，在伦敦、巴斯和纽约生活。在这段时间里，他创作了他著名的作品:小说《小心怜悯》和回忆录《昨日的世界》。他最终定居在巴西。1942年，他和妻子被发现殉情。他的大部分作品都可以从普希金出版社找到。

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 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. Between the wars, Zweig 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 left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York—a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. He eventually settled 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.
