Description - Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig's most famous novel, reissued with a new jacket and title
'I can't take any more of your revolting merciful kindness!'
Who would have thought that the great military hero Captain Hofmiller - that living monument to his own courage - would have anything burdening his soul? But when he reveals his story, it is not one of bravery but tragedy- a simple blunder at a dance from which disaster grows, ruining lives with his weak, foolish pity...
Beware of Pity is Stefan Zweig's greatest novel, fiercely capturing human emotions in all their subtleties and extremes - while Hofmiller, his unforgettable, naive creation, misunderstands everything, resulting in his downfall.
Translated by Jonathan Katz.
