On a sweltering ocean-liner travelling from India to Europe a passenger tells his story - the tale of a doctor in the Dutch East Indies torn between his duty and the pull of his emotions; a tale of power and maddening desire, of pride, shame and a headlong flight into folly.
Amok is one of the most intense and incisive of the tales that brought Stefan Zweig to worldwide fame.
Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family.
Much of his work is available from Pushkin Pres.
He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide.
In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York - a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday.
Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear.
He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer.
