A deep study of the unhappy heart by one of the masters of the psychological novel, Journey into the Past, here for the first time in America, is a previously unpublished novella that was found among Zweig’s stories after his death. Investigating the strange ways in which love, in spite of everything—time, war, betrayal—can last, Zweig tells the story of Louis, an ambitious young man from a modest background who falls in love with the wife of his rich employer. His love is returned, and indeed the couple vow to live together, but then Louis is sent to Mexico on business and, while he is away, the First World War breaks out. With travel and even communication across the Atlantic shut down, Louis makes a new life in Mexico. Years later, however, he returns to Germany to find his former beloved a widow and their feelings, though altered, no less engaged. Is it possible for love to survive precisely as the impossible?

    he listened yet more intently to what was within him, to the past, to see whether that voice of memory truly foretelling the future would not speak to him again, revealing the present to him as well as the past.

    he suddenly felt the full truth and sense of them. Had not those spectres searching for their past been muted questions, asked of a time that was no longer real, mere shadows wanting to come back to life but unable to do so now? Neither she nor he was the same any more, yet they were searching for each other in a vain effort, fleeing one another, persisting in disembodied, powerless efforts like those black spectres at their feet.

    In the old park, in ice and snow caught fast

    Two spectres walk, still searching for the past.
