Only at the arrival in Naples, the narrator learns about a mysterious accident that happened while the cargo was being discharged: when the lead coffin with the woman’s remains was being unloaded, the doctor threw himself onto the coffin that was fastened to ropes, thereby dragging both the coffin and him down to the bottom of the sea.

This is what happens when you give constitutional authority to a bureaucracy. They don't have to answer to us. They humor us occasionally by appearing before our Committee, but we have no authority over the PUC because they are independently out there by virtue of constitutional authority.

During the interwar years, Zweig was the author who was most translated into other languages, worldwide. I think this is the most important fact that may act in his defence.
