Synopsis "Las Hermanas (in Spanish)"

En esta historia, tan pícara como moral, a pesar de la advertencia del autor, nos habla Zweig de la idea del doble, en este caso representado por dos hermanas: Sophia (la razón) y Helena (la pasión). Ambas compiten por recuperar, cada una a su manera, el esplendor perdido de su familia. Una, a través de la virtud, la otra, a través de la pasión. Pero ¡cuán delgada es la línea que separa la templanza de la voluptuosidad! Precisamente esto es lo que Helena pretende averiguar cuando pone a prueba a su hermana, sin sospechar el sorprendente final que el destino le depara.

(Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brazil, 1942) a very popular writer, both as an essayist and biographer as well as a novelist, he was one of the most versatile writers of the first half of the 20th century. His narrative ability, skill, and delicacy in describing feelings and the elegance of his style make him a fascinating storyteller. He was associated with the great authors of his time: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Tagore, among others. After several decades in which his works were inexplicably ignored, Zweig has been rediscovered and currently enjoys the prestige and popularity that literary justice demanded.
