Stefan Zweig was one of the world's most famous writers during the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the U.S., South America and Europe. He produced novels, plays, biographies and journalist pieces. Among his most famous works are Beware of Pity, Letter from and Unknown Woman and Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles. He and his second wife committed suicide in 1942.
Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide.
Zweig's interest in psychology and the teachings of Sigmund Freud led to his most characteristic work, the subtle portrayal of character. Zweig's essays include studies of Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Drei Meister, 1920; Three Masters) and of Friedrich Hlderlin, Heinrich von Kleist, and Friedrich Nietzsche (Der Kampf mit dem Dmon, 1925; Master Builders). He achieved popularity with Sternstunden der Menschheit (1928; The Tide of Fortune), five historical portraits in miniature. He wrote full-scale, intuitive rather than objective, biographies of the French statesman Joseph Fouché (1929), Mary Stuart (1935), and others. His stories include those in Verwirrung der Gefhle (1925; Conflicts). He also wrote a psychological novel, Ungeduld des Herzens (1938; Beware of Pity), and translated works of Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, and mile Verhaeren.

评分好的文章要有好主题,好结构,好句子。什么叫做“好”的文章呢?好情怀。因此“好”文章本身就是一件可遇不可求的事情,因此读者与文本之间才会形成一种相互作用的气场,因此人各有异。 大概是上初中的时候就喜欢茨威格了,因为那篇课文,那篇写斯科特的课文。记得当...

By the author who inspired Wes Anderson’s 2014 film, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna—its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.
Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws a vivid and intimate account of his life and travels through Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching on the very heart of European culture. His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction.
This new translation by award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig’s writing in arguably his most revealing work.
长见识
评分我隐约可以体会为什么有些人会指责茨威格虚伪。他的见解和评价能做到如此公正全面,多半是下笔前好生踌躇了一番。这样一来,最原始,尖锐的想法也就被模糊掉,变的不温不火了。另外,昨日的世界简直就是名人收集花名册!带dali去拜访佛洛依德这种事情都出现了,真熊,真熊啊
评分在整理笔记,几乎可以算是二刷了。尤其欣赏Zweig在写自身经历时的克制与疏离。特别要给这一版的翻译Anthea Bell点赞,把英语翻出了流水般的自然质感…什么时候我能翻成这样,我就知足了!

评分As opposed to, or maybe similar to Zweig’s, we, as a generation that grew up in peace, have our own bitter moments of disillusion. In such moments, to retire into one’s inner self is never sufficient to shield one from the impact of the catastrophic strike of reality. Such a depressing book that speaks to me on so many levels.
