Ilustration Concering Books Fantastic Night & Other Stories
Fantastic Night is a journey of self discovery through one night in the life of a wealthy man.Because he inherited a large amount of money with his parents’ death, he lived a comfortable life. He doesn’t work or he didn’t marry.
When his long term lover decides to leave her to marry another guy, he realises he doesn’t feel anything, and it’s not normal.
So, he starts to question his life, happiness and emotions through a night’s adventures he goes through.
I love Zweig’s writing and I really enjoyed this book too.
It’s a short novella of self discovery and it’s masterfully crafted in less than 100 pages.
I’d recommend any of his works.

Zweig presents various scenarios with the littlest of things which is quite amazing, in my opinion. His characters are few, his setting small, his stories well-craft. He delves into the psychological aspect of the characters, creating profound stories Fantastic Night The longest out of the five. Quite boring and wordy at first with all the narrators inner
Fantastic Night (4 stars)This is the lengthier and the most challenging of the five stories. Partly because it feels as if the rumblings of the Baron impede the story from moving along. But after reading the whole story, somehow, I can't imagine leaving the parts out. After all, he is supposedly narrating this particular experience from a period in his life where he is enjoying his newfound vigor after many years of unperturbed apathy, prodded to life only by a minor lapse of morality.
