Amok: Novellen einer Leidenschaft by Stefan Zweig
"Amok: Novellen einer Leidenschaft" by Stefan Zweig is a collection of novellas published in 1922. The title story follows a German doctor in the Dutch East Indies who becomes dangerously obsessed after a wealthy woman requests his help with an unwanted pregnancy. When he demands sexual relations in exchange for the procedure, she refuses in disgust. His obsession spirals into a reckless pursuit that mirrors "amok"—the murderous frenzy that seizes certain individuals,
compelling them to run wildly and destroy everything in their path. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
