My slow progress with this read is only because I’ve been so busy with my academic studies. Zweig’s exploration of what pity can do and how much it can actually destroy is fascinating, already in my top 5 favorite reads so far this year!

“I know there is no need to be ashamed of being taken in by life now and again; it is, if anything, a blessing not yet to have acquired that over-keen, diagnostic, misanthropic eye, and to be able to look at people and things trustfully when one first sees them.”
Can’t wait to read all of Zweig’s books

Life gets in the way of our reading goals huh? It rings a bell :) I am so looking forward to read Zweig. I bought Fear for a starter which is a very short one, and this one you are reading is up next. Top 5 is high praise!
