4709. Kaleidoscope thirteen stories and novelettes by Stefan Zweig Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul (read 17 May 2010) This book published in 1934 contains thirteen stories and is the seventh book by Zweig I have read. Probably the more memorable of the stories are "The Burning Secret" telling how a 12-year-old boy inadvertently prevents his mother from entering into an adulterous affair, and "Impromptu Study of a Handicraft" telling of a man in Paris watching a pickpocket. "LOeporella" tells of a maid who seeks to serve her master by killing his wife. None is a total failure. ( )
