In his book Necessity, Stefan Zweig describes the helplessness of a famous painter, who fled from his home country Austria to Switzerland for the sake of freedom, against the state and authority.
Ferdinand, the hero of the book, is called back for military service with a letter he receives from an official office. He remains ambivalent about his desire for freedom and his peaceful nature. He will decide what is right for him and will implement what is best for him.
Some of the dilemmas that will remain in the book are; to go - to stay, to be afraid - to be brave, to be a slave - to be free... You will remember Hamlet's monologue to be or not to be from these dilemmas.
At the end of the book, he does what is best for himself. As always, I enjoyed reading Zweig's book.
