Özet
 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.©1976 Atrium Press (P)2017 Ukemi Productions Ltd Classics Genre Fiction Historical Fiction Kurgu Literary Fiction

I should probably have expected how bleak this book is given the title, but I think it is exceeded even my pessimistic expectations. None of the characters are likeable, but the story is compelling. Anton just keeps making terrible decisions!
Performed well by the narrator.

Fairly bleak!

I am glad I read it! I was a little underwhelmed. I I enjoyed the appendices! There were two short stories worth reading on their own within the whole

The ending

Is pity really the target of this fascinating story? This perspective may spring from the hero's narrative. Published in 1938, conformism and shame might also be fitting themes.

Beware of shame?

I really enjoyed listening to this thought provoking book. It's superbly written and highlights both the highs and lows of human nature. The narration throughout was absolutely spot on. The pace, change of character and emphasis was exactly what was required for myself to fully appreciate this unusual and at times, unsettling story.

Superbly writen and narrated.
