Review:
Confusion is one of his finest and most exemplary works... a marvellously poised account of misunderstood motives, thwarted love, and sublimated desires... a perfect reminder of, or introduction to, Zweig's economy and subtlety as a writer (Robert MacFarlane Times Literary Supplement)

Passion and dedication... Outside the works of Plato, I don't think I have ever read a better or more honest account of what ill always remain at the heart of teaching (Gabriel Josipovici The Jewish Chronicle)
About the Author:
Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a translator and later as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoying literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British citizenship. After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double suicide.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A respected university professor recalls his undergraduate days, and the mercurial and tortured teacher who first awakened in him a wild passion for learning. Unstable and intense, the older man fascinates the student, and draws him closer and closer, until their relationship reaches an unexpected and dramatic conclusion. IN THE AUTUMN of his days, a distinguished privy councillor contemplates his past, looking back at the key moments of his life. A reluctant and indolent student, he recalls the chance meeting with a professor and his wife, which leads to his sharing their lodgings. In a flash of revelation, the professor un- locks his thirst for knowledge and an ambiguous and close friendship is formed. But the professor harbours a dark secret which changes and scars both men forever. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
