Jaque al trono

Como en muchas de las historias de Zweig, conocemos a Jakob Mendel a través de un misterioso personaje que vuelve, después de más de veinte años, al Café Gluck, en Viena. En sus recuerdos caóticos aparece la figura de Mendel, "el mago y agente de los libros", esa obsesiva figura capaz de estar sentado inmutable, hipnotizado por la lectura.

En un hogar para niños sin amparo filial, Niña, inspirada por sus lecturas de narrativa detectivesca, tratará de obtener la complicidad de Villano, Aquiles, Buen Samaritano y las fofitas, para urdir su venganza. La víctima: el Maestro tan déspota y por todos odiado. Los cómplices del homicidio: niños que aspiran a descubrir las certezas plausibles tras los conceptos de familia, amistad, amor y fe; tras poseer ya una sabiduría mínima indispensable sobre el abandono, el odio, la violencia, y la desesperanza.
