Irene Wagner leads a comfortable and carefree life with her husband and two children. However, after eight years of marriage, dances, theater, opera and other social activities seem predictable and boring. Thus, more out of novelistic fantasy than out of authentic desire, she begins a relationship with a young pianist. But soon a woman discovers her when she leaves her lover's apartment and Irene is forced to give in to terrible blackmail. The terror of being discovered by her husband and losing everything she owns and, now she discovers, so much needs and loves, will plunge her into a stormy nightmare. Written in 1913 and published for the first time almost a decade later, Miedo is one of Stefan Zweig's most overwhelming novellas, with an ending as surprising for the protagonist as for the reader.
Stefan Zweig was an Austrian writer. At the height of his literary career in the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most widely translated and popular writers in the world.
