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)

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."

In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!

"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).

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.

Seit Jahrhunderten mangelt es nicht an Versuchen, die Reise des Odysseus zu lokalisieren. Bereits vor vielen Jahren veranlasste diese Frage den Autor nach einer neuen Methode zu suchen und zu erkunden, ob die Odyssee uberhaupt auf geographisch reale Orte Bezug nimmt oder allein in den Meeren der Phantasie spielt. Das Ergebnis seiner Forschungen, das in der Studierstube entwickelt und auf zahlreichen Reisen an Ort und Stelle - mit dem Homer in der Hand - uberpruft, prazisiert und durch ein reiches Bildmaterial belegt wird, lautet: Homer beschreibt tatsachlich eine Reise. Sie fuhrt rund um Sizilien und quer uber Italien. Der Dichter lokalisiert die Abenteuer des Odysseus an den Kusten, die die Griechen seiner Zeit, im 8. Jh. Vor Chr., im Zuge der Westkolonisation gerade entdeckten. Damit uberliefert Homer das alteste Zeugnis der Geschichte Tunesiens, Maltas, Siziliens und Italiens. Die weithin herrschende Lehre, die Odyssee spiele in einem Marchenlande, wird damit ebenso in Frage gestellt wie die uber hundert fruheren Lokalisierungstheorien, die hier erstmals systematisch gesammelt sind. Das gleichermassen informative wie spannende Buch von Armin Wolf erscheint nun in einer vollig uberarbeiteten und aktualisierten Neuausgabe.
