Ungeduld des Herzens

Publication in German. The psychological novel by Austrian writer Stefan Zweig "The Impatience of the Heart" is a tragic story of unrequited love between 17-year-old Edith von Kékésfalva, the daughter of a wealthy Hungarian landowner, confined to a wheelchair, and young Austrian lieutenant Anton Hofmiller. Can compassion, cowardly and sentimental, save a loved one, or is it true that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions"? Why did the heart, which loved so passionately and sincerely, not await its happy fate? What serious consequences will cowardice and betrayal lead to, and can conscience forget everything and relegate it to oblivion? As in the best novellas by the author, the novel masterfully describes the psychological subtleties through which the feelings and actions of the main characters are revealed. The book is published in an unadapted version. Enjoy the only complete novel by Stefan Zweig in its original form!
