«Amok» is a volume of three stories by Stefan Zweig, published by Le Livre de Poche in paperback (222 pages, in French).
In these three stories passion reaches its extreme: the destructive frenzy of the Malay «amok», a stranger's secret obsession with a novelist, and the humiliation of a seducer in a moonlit alley. Zweig observes men and women dominated by desire and loss of control.
Originally written in German and published in 1922 as «Der Amokläufer». Translation by Alzir Hella and preface by Romain Rolland.
A classic for readers of twentieth-century short fiction interested in psychological introspection and extreme emotional conflicts.
Stefan Zweig was an Austrian writer. At the height of his literary career in the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most widely translated and popular writers in the world.
