I WAS LOOKING AT YOU STEADILY. ‘RECOGNIZE ME, finally recognize me!’ my gaze shouted. But your eyes smiled warmly and innocently. You kissed me once more. But you did not recognize me. I hurried along, as I felt tears welling up in my eyes and I knew you shouldn’t see them.
In the hallway, I almost bumped into your servant, and then - in that one, do you hear? in that one second, that I looked at him with tears in my eyes, a light shone within him. In that one second, the old man who hadn’t seen me since I was a child recognized me. In that second, he perhaps understood more about me than you did in your entire life.
The Letter of an Unknown Woman, the immensely popular novella by Stefan Zweig, is the story of a great passion. A teenage girl falls in love with a young, successful writer and builds her entire life around his existence. Fate brings them together three times, and each time the charming and careless writer accepts her into his life joyfully for a brief moment, surrounding her with his fleeting, shallow passion - yet never remembering her the next time. When he receives her letter, it will be far too late...
The Letter of an Unknown Woman is a tragic love story that features the indomitable female will and the magnificent Vienna of the belle époque.
