Incident on Lake Geneva
Dermot Crowley reads Stefan Zweig's classic story about the discovery on Lake Geneva of a man clinging to driftwood. Just who is this stranger talking in an odd language?
"On the banks of Lake Geneva, close to the small Swiss resort of Villeneuve, a fisherman who had rowed into the lake one summer night in the year 1918, noticed a strange object in the middle of the water..."
In Stefan Zweig's famous story, translated by Anthea Bell, a man clings to driftwood out on the lake. When he's brought ashore the townsfolk react to his arrival in different ways. Just who is he, this stranger, talking in an odd language?
