*Twenty-Four Hours in the Life of a Woman* Author: [Austria] Stefan Zweig Publisher: Jiangsu Phoenix Literature and Art Publishing House

"Was there ever a happier moment in my life than this? I don't know."

Zweig's classic novella, on par with "Letter from an Unknown Woman"

Newly translated directly from German by translator Jiang Yi, includes a postscript

Madam C is a distinguished British lady with silver hair. No one could have imagined that this old lady, who usually quietly read and played the piano alone, had her heart bound by an old event.

At the age of forty-two, Madam C fled a life of emptiness and depression alone. In a casino in Monte Carlo, she met a distraught young man who had lost all his possessions and was desperately preparing for death. Whether out of some noble feeling or the impulse of a momentary passion, Madam C tried to save this man whose name she didn't even know... These twenty-four hours from then on were like a huge stone, pressing heavily on her heart until her twilight years.
