Reading Group: Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig

In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to dance at the home of a rich landowner. There ? with a small act of attempted charity ? he commits a simple faux pas.

But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness, and of honour poisoned by self-regard.
