Four early stories by Stefan Zweig. In the title story a shy young piano teacher in Vienna is courted by a violinist and must decide what she wants from love; the others turn to devotion, longing and the wonders of faith and painting. Intense, lyrical studies of feeling at its first awakening. This book contains scenes of violence as its author wrote them.
