Publisher's summary

"The Burning Secret" by Stefan Zweig is a captivating novella that delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships.

Set against the backdrop of an Austrian resort in the early 20th century, the story revolves around a young baron who, in his pursuit of an intriguing woman, unwittingly befriends her young son. This friendship becomes a strategic tool in his quest, leading to an intricate web of deceit, passion, and emotional turmoil.

Zweig masterfully explores themes of innocence, manipulation, and the subtle dynamics of human interaction. The boy's innocent perspective contrasts sharply with the baron's more worldly views, creating a tension that drives the narrative forward.

As the baron's intentions become clearer, the story unfolds into a compelling exploration of secrecy and the burning desires that drive us. The author's signature psychological depth is on full display, offering listeners a nuanced look at the characters' inner lives.

The lush descriptions of the Austrian countryside provide a serene backdrop to the turbulent emotions that simmer beneath the surface.
