The article presents information on the book "Adepts in Self-Portraiture," by Stefan Zweig. In the last story in Stefan Zweig's book, "Conflicts," the Privy Chancellor D. says: "We can know human beings only through the fire that is in them, only through the passions." The old Chancellor's colleagues have presented him with a copy of his collected works. But he feels that the volume represents only one part of him; the core of his life, the essence is not there. The Chancellor goes on to say: "Thus once again did I learn from my own experience how inaccessible in every one of us is the essential core, the plastic cell out of which the impetus to growth proceeds."
