2. Twenty-four hours in the life of a woman. Stefan Zweigh

Rumor has it that Zweig developed his own genre - the action of his stories takes place mainly on the road and takes a few hours. But this is enough to make sure of the defenselessness and vulnerability of the heart, the vicissitudes of human destinies and the perniciousness of human passion. Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman is set in Monte Carlo, where an elderly woman shares a touching story with a young Frenchman that has troubled her heart for years.
