Críticas
An extraordinary work...there's a volcanic energy to Zweig's writing...wholly mesmerising. (The Herald)
A far more powerful, worthwhile and enjoyable novel than our present bestsellers (David Sexton Evening Standard)
This haunting novel is a monument to Zweig's skill (Sunday Telegraph)
Language that pierces both brain and heart (The Spectator)
Stefan Zweig was a late and magnificent bloom from the hothouse of fin de siecle Vienna...The posthumous publication of a Zweig novel affords an opportunity to revisit this gifted writer...The Post Office Girl is captivating. (The Wall Street Journal)
Zweig is one of the masters of the short story and novella, and by 'one of the masters' I mean that he's up there with Maupassant, Chekhov, James, Poe, or indeed anyone you care to name. (Nicholas Lezard Guardian)
A brilliant writer. (New York Times)
I do think this is exceptional.There are scenes of hope and despair that are so lucid, powerful and alive. A classic. (Esther Freud)
Biografía del autor
Stefan Zweig (1981-1942) was the most widely translated writer of the 1920s and 1930s. A Jewish pacifist, he was driven by the Nazis into exile, first in London, then in Brazil, where he committed suicide in a pact with his wife. The manuscript for The Post Office Girl was found among his papers. Zweig's other novels include Beware of Pity and Chess Story.
