| Summary | "Amok: Novellen einer Leidenschaft" by Stefan Zweig is a collection of novellas written in the early 20th century. The work delves into themes of obsession and the depths of human emotion, with the opening novella focusing on a mysterious incident involving a passenger on a ship and a passionate encounter that hints at the darker side of desire and desperation. The opening of the narrative introduces the protagonist aboard the "Oceania," a ship sailing from Kolkata to Europe. As he grapples with a suffocating atmosphere filled with overly chatty fellow passengers, he longs for solitude and reflection amidst his turbulent emotions. His encounter with a shadowy neighbor sparks a curiosity that consumes him, particularly as the stranger seems haunted by a personal tragedy. This initial meeting sets the stage for a psychological exploration of passion, guilt, and the human condition, ultimately foreshadowing the tumultuous events that are set to unfold.
