Stefan Zweig's works attained a popularity rivalled by few of his contemporaries in the German-speaking lands and throughout the world. This book is a full-scale biography of Zweig. It re-examines his writings and tells the detailed life story of a sensitive and complicated character whose ideal of the moral and intellectual unification of Europe is of the highest relevance today.

Born in Vienna in 1881, Stefan Zweig was one of the most respected authors of his time. Foreseeing Nazi Germany's domination of Europe, Zweig left Austria in 1933. In 1941, following a successful lecture tour of South America and several months in New York, Stefan Zweig and his wife Lotte emigrated to Brazil. Despairing at Europe's future and feeling increasingly isolated, the Zweigs committed suicide together in 1942.Stefan Zweig was an incessant correspondent but as the 1930s progressed, it became difficult for him to maintain contact with friends and colleagues. As Zweig's correspondence all but ceased with the outbreak of World War II, little is known about his final years. Even less is known about Lotte Zweig, his second-wife, secretary and travel-companion. This book provides an analysis of the Zweigs' time together and for the first time reproduces personal letters, written by the couple in Argentina and Brazil, along with editorial commentary. Furthermore, Lotte finally emerges from her husband's shadows, with the letters offering significant insights into their relationship and her experience of exile.

Infolgedessen wurde eine neue Phase in der Zweig-Forschung eingeleitet. Neues Licht wurde auf verschiedene Aspekte seiner Karriere geworfen. Moderne literaturwissenschaftliche Methoden brachten einsichtsvolle Perspektiven zu seinen Schriften. Diese Reihe von Aufsätzen besteht aus einigen aus der Zeit des Zentenariums und mehreren ganz Neuen.

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).

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)

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.

Romain Rolland (1866-1944) et Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) : deux écrivains européens parmi les plus brillants de la première moitié du XXe siècle. D'un côté, un grand prosateur français, de l'autre, son plus grand disciple autrichien. Réunis par un même amour des lettres, ils vont entretenir une amitié de plus de trente ans, malgré les ruptures engendrées par les guerres et les désaccords politiques. Deux hommes animés par une même exigence viscérale : se donner un destin singulier dans un monde en proie à la folie. Entreprise avant l'année 1914, cette correspondance regroupe des lettres écrites dans l'angoisse de la déflagration, les rumeurs et les éclats de la Première Guerre mondiale, puis dans les retombées d'un désastre, contre lequel tous deux s'étaient élevés. Ces lettres inédites apportent un témoignage exceptionnel sur un monde disparu et cette amitié fervente qui nous dit que l'autre n'est pas un ennemi, mais notre prochain, avec en filigrane l'idée prémonitoire d'une Europe unie, reposant sur la fraternité entre les hommes et les peuples.

The factors that change the course of history are primarily the product of the contributions made by individual lives to the broad pattern of mortal existence. In his collection of 'historical miniatures,' Stefan Zweig celebrates the monumental power of the spirit to discover, to create, to transcend the limits imposed by the temporal and physical environment, while at the same time underlining man's inability to escape from the realities of his own nature. Among Zweig's illustrations of decisive moments in human experience are the stories of a siege during which seventy ships are moved across a mountainous headland in a single night, a love affair between a seventy-four-year-old poet and a nineteen-year-old girl, and a man who legally owned much of the state of California, only to have it taken from him because the government would not defend his rights. .
