Moonlight Street Book Description A traveler who dives into the morbid lives of people he doesn't know by following the voice singing an aria he hears while wandering around the sailor's quarter of a port city in France; a dark, unattractive, and wild maid who is driven to a terrible act by her slavish devotion to her boss; A French colonel who was injured in the war in Spain in 1810 and embarked on a relentless struggle for survival in an enemy country; A Russian prisoner of war who was found and rescued at Lake Leman on a summer night in 1918, but then succumbed to the homesickness that burned his heart; The heavy price paid by a wandering young man who still attends high school while his peers go to university, after rebelling against his teacher's authority. While Zweig traces the experiences that dehumanize people and drag them to the extreme in these stories, he inevitably draws the reader into the mental turmoil of his characters... * Moonlight Street * Leporella * Engagement * Incident on the Shore of Lake Leman * Avare (From the Promotional Bulletin)
