Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 220
In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to a dance at the home of a rich landowner. There - with a small act of attempted charity - he commits a simple faux pas. But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness and of honour poisoned by self-regard. Beware of Pity has all the intensity and the formidable sense of torment and of character of the very best of Zweig's work. Definitive translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell.

Masterpiece
Revisado: 12-24-23
This is a work of a great novelist, and it will draw you in immediately. Zweig, in my opinion, can be compared to Dostoyevsky. Like a surgeon, and with a delicate knife, Zweig portraits the inner, most delicate emotions, desires, fears, and demons of the mind.
Not to talk about the superb narration by Nicholas Boulton. Bravo!

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 359
Called "a masterpiece" by The Guardian, this courageous and honest trilogy from Tove Ditlevsen, a pioneer in the field of genre-bending confessional writing, explores themes of family, sex, motherhood, abortion, addiction, and being an artist. This program contains all three volumes of her memoirs.

Got this one after I read a newsletter review saying that there was no need to read reviews nor the back cover,
Just start reading, you will not put it down.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 14
The novel follows the adolescent Arturo through his days on the isolated Neapolitan island of Procida, where - his mother long deceased, his father often absent, and a dog as his sole companion - he roams the countryside and the beaches or reads in his family's lonely, dilapidated mansion. This quiet, meandering existence is upended when his father brings home a beautiful 16-year-old bride, Nunziatella.

What a bad narration

Couldn’t read more than 5 min
Wish you had chosen a woman narrator. Hillary Huber would have been a perfect narrator for this book. Instead you chose a robot?
Very disappointing.
