世界图书与版权日 (World Book Day)

On the occasion of the 24th World Book Day, the yearly event organised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) encouraging reading and publishing, to be celebrated worldwide on Monday, April 23, 2018, most people from everywhere did not miss to recommend their must-read-book for the night.
So, what book should one read first? Four-time Women’s World Chess Champion 侯逸凡 (Hóu Yìfán)’s suggestion is “Ungeduld des Herzens” (Chinese: 《心灵的焦灼》; English: “Beware of Pity”), a 1939 novel by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig.
