In The Post-Office Girl, Stefan Zweig, a deep analyst of the human passions, looks at what happens to human feeling in a completely commodified world.

Christine toils in a provincial post-World War I Austria. Out of the blue, a telegram arrives from her rich American aunt inviting her to a resort in the Alps. She is immediately swept up into a world of inconceivable wealth and desire. But then, abruptly, her aunt dismisses her, sending her back to her old life. Christine is despondent until she meets Ferdinand, a bitter veteran. Life is meaningless for them both, unless, through one desperate and decisive act, they can secretly remake their world from within.

Cinderella meets Bonnie and Clyde in Zweig's haunting novel, completed as he fled the Nazis, but unpublished at the time of his death. The Post-Office Girl, available here for the first time in English, transforms our image of a modern master's achievement.

Unforgiving Years is a thrilling journey into the disastrous, blazing core of the twentieth century. Serge's final novel, here translated into English for the first time, is at once the most ambitious, bleakest, and most lyrical of this neglected major writer's works. From streets of prewar Paris to Leningrad under siege, to Germany on the brink of defeat and finally to a austerely beautiful region of Mexico, Serge's lifelong revolutionaries are brought to dramatic life as they reckon with the consequences of their actions. A visionary novel, a political novel, a novel of adventure, passion, and ideas, of despair and, against all odds, of hope, Unforgiving Years is a rediscovered masterpiece by the author of The Case of Comrade Tulayev.
