Martin Zweig's Winning With New IRAs

In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title!

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)

In muhevoller Kleinarbeit wertete der schottische Anthropologe Frazer alle erreichbaren klassischen Quellen, Sagenbucher und Reiseberichte vom Eismeer bis Polynesien aus, um seine These zu erharten: Der Glaube an transzendente Phanomene ist uberholt, die Welt ist immanent erklarbar; durch ‹Entmythologisierung› mythologischer und anthropologischer Verhaltensformen lassen sich die magischen und religiosen Praktiken auf den gleichen Ursprung zuruckfuhren. Frazers Hauptwerk «The Golden Bough» (zuletzt 12 Bande), das ihn weltberuhmt machte, ist eine monumentale Entwicklungsgeschichte der Mythen und Motive des Volksglaubens und zugleich eine Geschichte der Urreligionen. Im Zentrum stehen die vielen Kulturen gemeinsamen Totungsriten, Opferfeuer, Karnevalsriten, Fruchtbarkeitszauber, Zwangshandlungen und Tabus, die der umfassend gebildete Gelehrte mit schriftstellerischer Gewandtheit analysierte. Auch wenn Frazers Uberzeugung, Magie und Religion seien ursprunglich Ersatzkonzepte fur fehlendes Tatsachenwissen, und eine Reihe von Behauptungen inzwischen als ‹vorwissenschaftlich› oder widerlegt gelten, so bleibt «Der goldene Zweig» eine Fundgrube und ein unentbehrliches Arbeitsmittel fur den Religionssoziologen und Anthropologen wie fur den vergleichbaren Literaturhistoriker und Liebhaber der ‹Fantasy›- bzw. Trivialliteratur. Diese Ausgabe ist ein Reprint der Kurzfassung von «The Golden Bough», die erstmals 1928 auf deutsch erschienen ist.

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.

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.

"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).

German Reparations and the Jewish World" has become a standard reference work since it was first published. Based extensively on archival sources, the author examines the difficult debate within the Jewish world whether it was possible to reach a material settlement with Germany so soon after Auschwitz. Concentrating on how the money was spent in rebuilding Jewish life, he also analyzes how the reparations payments transformed the relations bteween Israel and the diaspora, and between different Jewish political and ideological groups. This revised and expanded edition includes material on sensitive relief programmes from archives that have only recently been opened to researchers. In a new, extensive introductory essay the author reexamines the reparations, restitution and indemnification processes from the perspective of 50 years later.

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.

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."
