Stefan Zweig's most famous novella, presented in an edition that revives the classic design of the first Penguin Books from 1935. Set in the early 20th century at a Riviera guesthouse, an elderly English widow shares an unexpected confession with an Austrian listener: in her youth, she had a life-changing encounter at a Monte Carlo casino with a young Polish aristocrat, leading her to experience twenty-four hours of frenzy, challenging social conventions, and risking everything for a fleeting passion. In this story of obsession and memory, Zweig employs his immersive prose, subtle irony, and psychological insight to create an unforgettable classic.
