It’s the summer of 1936, and the writer Stefan Zweig is in crisis. His German publisher no longer wants him, his marriage is collapsing, and his house in Austria—searched by the police two years earlier—no longer feels like home. He’s been dreaming of Ostend, the Belgian beach town that is a paradise of promenades, parasols, and old friends. So he journeys there with his lover, Lotte Altmann, and reunites with fellow writer and semi-estranged close friend Joseph Roth, who is himself about to fall in love. For a moment, they create a fragile haven. But as Europe begins to crumble around them, the writers find themselves trapped on vacation, in exile, watching the world burn. In Ostend, Volker Weidermann lyrically recounts “the summer before the dark,” when a coterie of artists, intellectuals, drunks, revolutionaries, and madmen found themselves in limbo while Europe teetered on the edge of fascism and total war.   Ostend is the true story of two of the twentieth century’s great writers, written with a novelist’s eye for pacing, chronology, and language—a dazzling work of historical nonfiction.  (Translated from the German by Carol Brown Janeway)

A new paperback edition of the only biography in English of Stefan ZweigDrawing on a great wealth of newly available sources, this definitive biography recounts the eventful life of a great writer spoilt by success-a life lived in the shadow of two world wars, and which ended tragically in a suicide pact.Matuschek examines three major phases in the life of the world-famous Austrian author-his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the USA and Brazil.Including the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir, and incorporating newly discovered documents, Matuschek's biography offers us a privileged view into the private world of the master of psychological insight.

An original study of exile, told through the biography of Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, the man who inspired The Grand Budapest Hotel   By the 1930s, Stefan Zweig had become the most widely translated living author in the world. His novels, short stories, and biographies were so compelling that they became instant best sellers. Zweig was also an intellectual and a lover of all the arts, high and low. Yet after Hitler’s rise to power, this celebrated writer who had dedicated so much energy to promoting international humanism plummeted, in a matter of a few years, into an increasingly isolated exile—from London to Bath to New York City, then Ossining, Rio, and finally Petrópolis—where, in 1942, in a cramped bungalow, he killed himself.   The Impossible Exile tells the tragic story of Zweig’s extraordinary rise and fall while it also depicts, with great acumen, the gulf between the world of ideas in Europe and in America, and the consuming struggle of those forced to forsake one for the other. It also reveals how Zweig embodied, through his work, thoughts, and behavior, the end of an era—the implosion of Europe as an ideal of Western civilization.

In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!

Dust jacket notes: "After the Austrian poet Hugo von Hoffmansthal, who had been his librettist for many years, died in 1929, Richard Strauss resigned himself to admitting 'that my period of creating operas has come to a close.' But several years later the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig offered to prepare a libretto and soon they were deep into a warm and fruitful artistic collaboration leading to the creation of Die schweigsame Frau, first performed in Dresden in 1935. This small book records their relationship from Zweig's first polite and deferential letter offering to present a musical project to the famous composer to Strauss's last letter, intercepted by the Gestapo, in which he boldly writes that he will 'never, ever' forego working with his Jewish librettist."

"It will definitely be regarded as the authoritative Stefan Zweig biography in the future."—Frankfurter Allgemeine ZeitungThis is the authorized biography of the world-famous Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. It includes the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir The World of Yesterday, offering us a glimpse into the private world of this master of psychological insight. Drawing on a wealth of sources held by the Zweig estate, to which Oliver Matuschek had unique access, he recounts the eventful life of a writer spoilt by success, which changed direction under the influence of contemporary events and ended tragically in a suicide pact with his second wife Lotte. The title Three Lives refers to the three major phases in Zweig's life—his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional "working writer" in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the United States, and Brazil.Oliver Matuschek studied politics and modern history, has co-authored several documentaries, and has published numerous works, most recently I Know the Magic of Writing: Catalogue and History of the Autograph Collection of Stefan Zweig (2005).

María Antonieta es una magnífica biografía. La genial descripción del personaje y del ambiente de la época se debe tanto a la gran penetración psicológica de Stefan Zweig y a su poderosa intuición poética, como a la fidedigna documentación de que se sirvió. En María Antonieta, la destreza de Stefan Zweig para el retrato y su finísima comprensión del alma humana se unen para dibujar un cuadro extraordinario de la más famosa víctima de la guillotina: su tormentosa llegada a Versalles, la frustración ante la frialdad de su esposo, su apasionado romance con el conde Von Fersen y, finalmente, el caos y el terror que la revolución trajo consigo.

Kurzbeschreibung "Sehr dekorativ - ganz so, wie der Kinobesucher sich einen berühmten Schriftsteller vorstellen mag", wirkte Stefan Zweig auf die Schauspielerin und Kollegin Irmgard Keun, "weltmännisch, elegant, gepflegt und mit sanfter Melancholie im dunklen Blick" - so wie der Romanschriftsteller R. auf die ihm letztlich immer unbekannt bleibende Frau dieser Erzählung. Diese hat ihn als Dreizehnjährige verehrt, heranwachsend sich mehr und mehr in ihn verliebt und ein Kind von ihm empfangen, ohne dass ihm dies alles bewusst geworden ist. Den immer Reisenden kann sie nicht halten, und als sie ihn zehn Jahre später besucht, sieht er in ihr nicht die Liebende, sondern nur irgendeine Frau. Ihr Kind stirbt; bevor sie ihm folgt, zeichnet sie dem geliebten Mann in einem Brief ihr Leben auf, "das das Deine war". Als er den Brief liest, spürt er "Erinnerungen des Gefühls und erinnert sich doch nicht". Ihm ist, als hätte er geträumt, "oft und tief geträumt, aber doch nur geträumt". Max Ophüls diente diese Erzählung 1948 als Vorlage für einen seiner besten Filme.

The Struggle with the Daemon is a brilliant analysis of the European psyche by the great novelist and biographer Stefan Zweig. Zweig studies three giants of German literature and thought: Friedrich Holderlin, Heinrich von Kleist and Friedrich Nietzsche – powerful minds whose ideas were at odds with the scientific positivism of their age; troubled spirits whose intoxicating passions drove them mad but inspired them to great works. In their struggle with their inner creative force, Zweig reflects the conflict at the heart of the European soul – between science and art, reason and inspiration.Both highly personal and philosophically wide-ranging, this is one of the most fascinating of Zweig’s renowned biographical studies.

Écrivain, dramaturge, journaliste et biographe autrichien, Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) étudie la philosophie et rejoint le mouvement d'avant-garde Jeune Vienne. Il publie son premier récit, Dans la neige, en 1901. Jusqu'en 1914, il multiplie les voyages tout en poursuivant ses activités d'écriture. Dans l'entre-deux-guerres, il défend la cause pacifiste aux côtés de Romain Rolland. En 1934, inquiété pour ses origines juives, il s'exile à Londres, puis au Brésil. En 1942, désespéré par les victoires des nazis et de leurs alliés, il se suicide en compagnie de son épouse.

For the first time in English, a contemporary and friend of Virginia Woolf and Stefan Zweig gives us the definitive portrait of a woman lost on the margins of modern life.

Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) was a poet, novelist, and dramatist, but it was his biographies that expressed his full genius, recreating for his international audience the Elizabethan age, the French Revolution, the great days of voyages and discoveries. In this autobiography he holds the mirror up to his own age, telling the story of a generation that "was loaded down with a burden of fate as was hardly any other in the course of history." Zweig attracted to himself the best minds and loftiest souls of his era: Freud, Yeats, Borgese, Pirandello, Gorky, Ravel, Joyce, Toscanini, Jane Addams, Anatole France, and Romain Rolland are but a few of the friends he writes about.

Éste es probablemente el libro más famoso de Stefan Zweig. En él lleva a su cima el arte de la miniatura histórica y literaria. Muy variados son los acontecimientos que reúne bajo el título de Momentos estelares: el ocaso del imperio de Oriente, en el que la caída de Constantinopla a manos de los turcos en 1453 adquiere su signo más visible; el nacimiento de El Mesías de Händel en 1741; la derrota de Napoleón en 1815; el indulto de Dostoievski momentos antes de su ejecución en 1849; el viaje de Lenin hacia Rusia en 1917... «Cada uno de estos momentos estelares —escribe Stefan Zweig con acierto— marca un rumbo durante décadas y siglos», de manera que podemos ver en ellos unos puntos clave de inflexión de la historia, que leemos en estas catorce miniaturas históricas con la fascinación que siempre nos produce Zweig.
