Shayan: Zweig, Zweig, and my dear Zweig. All his books have this magnetic captivating nature.
If a non-Zweig-reader stumbles upon one his works and wants to leaf through to check the
structure of his writing he/she would probably decide that it’s a boring and hyper-energyconsuming book with no chapters and no separating parts, with its long paragraphs and
minimum dialog among the characters. But the moment you set your eyes on his magical writing
you are drawn into his world and you just keep reading and reading and reading without being
able to or dare to take your eyes away from the lines since there are no “checkpoints” in the
story to relieve you, there is only a beginning and an ending.
Being a friend of Freud enabled Zweig to inject Freud’s ideas into his stories, just as his other
friend Arthur Schnitzler did. In Fear we see a young respectable upper-class married woman,
Irene, living with her fear of getting exposed by a blackmailer who threatens to publicize her
adultery. She was only seeing the adultery as an adventure and didn’t have any feelings for her
lover. The first lines open as Irene is leaving her lover's apartment, already suffering and
trembling from the fear of being caught red-handed and anxious to get back to her comfortable
and safe life. On her way out the building she is buttonholed by his lover’s former beloved, a
plebeian woman who accuses her of stealing her man. Scared stiff and ashamed, Irene begins
a descent into abysmally insane fear. The woman demands ever larger sums in blackmail, while
Irene tries to hide everything from her husband, her children and every one.
The story, like most of Zweig’s other stories, taps on some characteristics of human nature and
behavior which goes at odds with what society holds as proper. Individuals indulging their
desires in secret and condemn it in façade, in society. In this story, together with Irene, we can
feel her beneath that false constructed demeanor and empathize with her, to undergo what she
goes through: storms of carnal passion, guilt, shame, rage, and ever-growing fear.
In one part of the book when she protested against her husband’s harsh chastisement for their
little daughter, she is faced by the husband’s explanation of the whyness of his doing so, which
also encapsulates Irene’s own psychological condition:
Don’t I feel sorry for her, you ask? Well, I won’t say any more about that today. She
feels better now that she’s been punished, although her punishment seems bitter too.
She was unhappy yesterday when she put the broken bits of the poor little horse in the
stove. Everyone in the house was looking for it, and she was afraid all day that it was
sure to be found. That fear was worse than the punishment, which after all is something
definite, and whether it’s hard on her or not, it’s still better than the terrible uncertainty
and cruel suspense she was feeling earlier. As soon as she knew her punishment she
felt all right. Don’t let her tears lead you astray; yes, they came pouring out, but they’d
been dammed up inside her before, and they hurt worse there than on the surface. If
she weren’t a child, or if we could somehow see right into her mind, I think we’d
discover that she is really glad to have been found out, in spite of her punishment and
her tears. She’s certainly happier than she was yesterday, when she appeared not to
have a care in the world, and no one suspected her.”
But she just can’t bring herself to confess it to her husband and relieve herself of the stifling
burden of fear and shame.
Overall, it was a great read for me, but I might be biased for I love the way Zweig writes and the
way Anthea Bell translates it, but after all here is Goodreads, a site for prejudiced reviews, and
not an academic circle to claim objectivity (which I believe as impossible).
Once the most read author of his age, Zweig turns into Mr. Nobody not long after his suicidal
death. But I’m so glad to see him regaining some small part of his stance and fame amongst
readers. As Salman Rushdie said, “it’s good to have Zweig back.”
Célia Loureiro: Stefan Zweig é sempre desconcertante. Ou não fosse ele o homem que, após
escapar às garras assassinas do nazismo, se foi suicidar juntamente com a mulher na
segurança brasileira. A história de "O Medo", na edição de 1973 que tenho e em que o li, é
muito ao estilo de "Vinte e Quatro Horas na Vida de Uma Mulher", ou de "Carta de Uma
Desconhecida". Pergunto-me porque se colocará o austríaco no lugar de uma mulher sempre
que pretende contar episódios de solidão, amor não correspondido e transgressões. Há uma
inabilidade das suas mulheres para se adaptarem à vida que é esperada delas. Irene Wagner
não é excepção: de rosto escondido no véu do chapéu, achando-se uma grande senhora, lá vai
ela a caminho da casa do amante. E nem sequer é a paixão que a move, mas quem sabe um
chamamento auto-destrutivo que a salve da monotonia de oito anos de casamento. É a
chantagem de uma terceira pessoa, a par do seu affair, que vai oferecer a emoção que Irene
precisava. Isso e não o caso em si.
Há sempre uma surpresa, no final. Sempre alguém que não é quem julgávamos ser... Tanta
intensidade narrativa e humana numa estória já tão repetida, já tão explorada na literatura.
Ainda assim, Stefan tem sempre algo novo a acrescentar. Algo de perturbador que permanece
em nós durante horas, dias, semanas depois de terminada a leitura...
Aconselho, claro.
Aprile: L’analisi del sentimento di paura mi ha colpito relativamente. Ho apprezzato
maggiormente un altro aspetto di questo racconto lungo. L’ho trovato un racconto di
formazione. Irene è passata, attraverso una prova, dall’essere una ragazzina advert essere
una donna. Ha visto con chiarezza los angeles sua vita passata e si è resa conto di essersi fino
a quel momento fermata alla sola superficie, di non aver scavato neppure in step with qualche
millimetro, di aver goduto solo dello sfavillio della sua vita agiata. E l. a. paura di perdere story
vita le ha fatto aprire gli occhi, è cresciuta, si è resa conto del mondo sotto l. a. superficie,
mondo che ha rischiato di perdere senza neanche conoscerlo, non si fermerà più “all’operosità
degli inoperosi” tra balli, serate di gala, compere e té, sarà partecipe. D’ora in poi sarà
senz’altro una madre, vera, non sarà più distaccata nei confronti dei suoi figli, e sarà anche una
moglie migliore, avendo ora il desiderio di conoscere suo marito finalmente advert un livello non
solo formale. E il marito è un uomo maturo - con i suoi problemi, certo, avrebbe anche potuto
affrontarla in modo diretto, senza invenzioni teatrali, ma siamo comunque advert inizio secolo
scorso - e l. a. ama. Mi sembra che in questo caso non siano le convenzioni borghesi advert
avere los angeles meglio ma l. a. capacità di cambiare e di comprendere. Direi che è un
racconto sulle seconde occasioni – che non tutti hanno e di cui non tutti sanno approfittare e
quindi rinascere.

SCARABOOKS: Sembra una banale storia di corna tra i soliti tre, scritta però come Zweig sa e
con los angeles tensione di un giallo vero. Da un bar di high quality 2011 si potrebbe liquidar
tutto raccontando che Lei è solo una sciacquetta, Lui un bastardo e l'Altro l'unico che si salva (in
tutti i sensi). Ma corna e giallo sono solo l'involucro. Dentro, intanto, c' è un ecoscandaglio
esemplare sulla paura. l. a. descrizione che ne fa è così convincente che l. a. vivi, l. a. senti
addosso. Chi biasima l'irruzione prepotente della analisi psicologica nel romanzo, qui trova di
che riflettere su quanto potente possa essere come macchina ispiratrice ed innervatrice di
storie. Poi c'è l'atto di fede in un Dominus (in questo caso un Francesco Giuseppe maritale e in
toga da avvocato) che tutto sa, tutto organizza, tutto giudica, tutto e tutti castiga e perdona
(compreso se stesso). Infine, c'è una lezione ammonitrice sul potenziale sovversivo contenuto
nelle pulsioni non regolate e non ricondotte advert un ordine. E l. a. sovversione della regola,
che rompe l'ordine, according to il cantore del Finis Austriae, porta inevitabilmente solo al
capovolgimento del mondo, al caos, alla morte. Faccio notare che tutto il congegno si regge
sull'asburgica assenza dell'altro sentimento. Quello veramente sovversivo, quello che in una
trama del genere ci si aspetterebbe di trovare a motore dei personaggi e cioè l'amore, l. a.
passione. Chissà, se tra i due amanti ci fosse stato qualcosa di più serio di qualche oretta di
ginnastica, magari Zweig avrebbe dovuto a long way prendere alle cose una piega diversa. (o
forse no?..... lei in effetti è troppo sciacquetta).
