Finished the three short stories found in [Wondrak and other stories]. I was, as I am sure it occurs commonly, left pofoundly touched by "Wondrak" and it's unfinished ending. I spent a lot of time considering where the author was at that time in his life, in Brazil, and what his state of mind was. I have to also wonder why the story was entitled, "Wondrak". He was a bureaucratic clerk, while the main character was the mother, Ruzena. I wonder how much Zweig identified with the characters and their struggle to make the choices they each made. The fact that he and his wife committed suicide before he finished the story is heartbreaking and disturbing. Certainly all three stories communicated the power of government and war to take away all that is dear unless one is willing to take a tremendously risky stand. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

Compulsion, In the Snow and Wondrak all concern Zweig's strong anti-war feelings following the First World War. The artist Ferdinand, central figure of Compulsion, partly reflects Zweig's own experience. In The Snow tells of the plight of a group of Jews who freeze to death while trying to escape a medieval pogrom. In Wondrak, a woman, disfigured since birth, attempts to save her only child from being drafted into the military. In this newly available English translation the reader discovers the essential humanist preoccupations of the author of Amok and Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman: his compassion towards human suffering, his horror of war and his faith in idealism, generosity, love values that can, in an instant, illuminate an entire existence.

> Par Thierry L. : Wondrak - Stefan Zweig
27 Août 2018 ... Nouvelle inachevée et posthume de Stefan Zweig, Wondrak se révèle frustrante : menée avec maestria, l'histoire de Ruzena Sedlak qui tente de protéger son fils unique – fruit d'un viol sordide – du reste du monde est de bout en bout passionnante.
Réfugiée avec son garçon au sein d'une profonde forêt de Bohême, cette mère défigurée (née sans nez, elle est surnommée "Tête de mort") doit lutter contre l'Administration (acte de naissance), l’Église (baptême) puis l’État (mobilisation générale) qui se liguent pour lui enlever son unique rejeton.
Wondrak, le personnage qui donne son nom à la nouvelle, demeure un figurant énigmatique. L'incomplétude du texte laisse le lecteur désemparé...
Quant à La Légende de la troisième colombe, étiologique et légèrement édifiante (Zweig la rédige en 1916), elle est dispensable.
