"There are exactly two kinds of sympathy. One kind of sympathy is cowardly and sentimental, which is actually just the anxiety of the soul. When you see the misfortune of others, you are eager to get out as soon as possible to avoid being moved and falling into an embarrassing situation. This kind of sympathy is not a sympathy for the pain of others at all, but just an instinctive resistance to prevent it from touching your own heart. The other kind of sympathy can be regarded as true sympathy." This book is Zweig's only novel published when he was exiled abroad in 1938. The work describes the emotional tragedy between a fledgling young officer and a disabled girl who came from a rich family. The work's portrayal of the characters' psychology, especially the psychology of the heroine, is profound and unforgettable.
