About This Novel

Zweig, the world's master of short stories, is a suffocating female psychological novel that carefully analyzes the inner world of "strangers in marriage". "Professor who knows best about love" Liang Yong'an's 10,000-word long article introduction to "writer who knows best about women" Zweig: while expressing the sadness of the world, he also has "Zweig's warmth and kindness". "Fear" is an indispensable piece of Zweig's female psychological literature puzzle: burning secrets, climax suspense, suffocating fear... Zweig digs holes in women's hearts, but in order to set them free! "Fear" was written in 1925. By describing an upper-class young woman, Irena, who had an extramarital affair with a pianist, she was afraid of being discovered by her husband and losing her noble status. This caused the heroine to rethink her own destiny and life, and expressed Zweig's contempt and ridicule for the frivolous and decadent upper-class life at that time. "Fear" is known for its profound, detailed and fascinating psychological description. Together with Zweig's masterpieces "Letter from a Strange Woman" and "Twenty-Four Hours in a Woman's Life", it is hailed as a masterpiece in describing female psychology.
