the impulse
Stefan Zweig / Crown
Two soldiers, war refugees, arrive each under their own circumstances in the neutral country of Switzerland during the First World War. One to Lake Geneva, the other to Lake Zurich. One yearns to return to his homeland, to his wife and children, while to the other, the homeland seems now, during the war, to be a place of imprisonment and coercion. But even if in times of war the homeland does not consider the wishes of the soldiers, it seems that they still have a certain amount of choice.
'Incident on Lake Geneva' and 'The Impulse', the two stories by Stefan Zweig translated here for the first time into Hebrew and grouped together, touch with power, wisdom and sensitivity the mental life of soldiers and the dilemmas and situations that war provokes.
