Clarissa is the daughter of a high-ranking Austrian army officer. Orphaned from her mother at birth, at the age of eight she is sent to a convent school, where she will spend the next ten years of her life. Upon leaving the convent, Clarissa begins working as a secretary for a child psychologist who sends her to a pedagogy congress in Lucerne. There she meets Léonard, a jovial and passionate Frenchman with whom she will begin an intense romance. But the imminence of war forces them to return to their respective countries, now on opposing sides. Once at the front, where she serves as a nurse, Clarissa discovers she is pregnant and makes a decision that will condition the rest of her life. Clarissa can be considered Stefan Zweig's testament. In it, he captured the humanist and anti-war ideals he defended throughout his life in an unfinished yet masterful work with which to enjoy the purest Zweig.
