📗 Libro en inglés BURNING SECRET

Zweig''s writing is some of the most brilliant of the twentieth century'' Independent Nothing whets the intelligence more than a passionate suspicion, nothing develops all the faculties of an immature mind more than a trail running away into the dark. The suave Baron, bored on his holiday in an Austrian mountain resort, begins a flirtation with a beautiful woman. When his advances are rejected, he seeks a new way to her heart - by befriending her twelve-year-old son. To the Baron all this is a game, but he cannot begin to imagine the effect he is having on the boy''s life... Burning Secret is a darkly compelling tale of seduction, jealousy and betrayal from the master of the novella.
