Message from an unknown person

A message from an unknown person contains a romantic novella that is one of the most beautiful written by the Austrian Stefan Zweig, in his enjoyable style and deep psychological analysis about the pain of unrequited love, about hopeless love, about a crazy, noble, and deadly love story. The novella was published with a beautiful translation by Abu Bakr Al-Ayadi from Maskelyani, as part of a distinguished collection of translated novels that includes Zweig's other works. I was always amazed by the power of this text, by its desperate beauty, its depth and maturity. It is a story of a heart that remained ready for love and death, a heart that was undeterred, perishing with innocence and inspiration, a luminous heart that speaks and exposes itself before a beloved man, an entire life. We see the novel grow before our eyes, learning love with pride, with joy, then we see madness lurking, and it strikes her forever. When Freud and psychoanalysis were dazzling people, Zweig was drawing a portrait of a destructive love that dances with death. He tells us that we never truly own anyone, and that predatory love from one side drives us mad and leads us to the grave. In this metaphysical love, stubbornly pure, there is something that makes it alert and enjoyable, like a secret that calms the lover’s fears and creates her anew.
