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.

The World of Yesterday 2024 pdf epub mobi 电子书
茨威格生前和中国几乎没有什么关系,除了他的书在中国有所出版,和其他的作家相比影响也不太大。而且,他也没有关注过中国,因为在他的眼中欧洲就是他的全部世界,所以他才把书名定位《昨日的世界》。我不得不说的是,虽然作者谦虚的说此书是“一个欧洲人的回忆”,但是在此书...
评分“可是不管怎么说,每一个影子毕竟还是光明的产儿,而且只有经历过光明和黑暗、和平和战争、兴盛和衰败的人,他才算真正的生活过”,当茨威格在这本影响过一代人的《昨日的世界》以一个看似乐观而奋进的句子结尾时,我却无法产生一丝振奋之感,我想茨威格写下这样的句子时...
评分1942年2月22日,奥地利作家斯蒂芬·茨威格和妻子双双自杀离世。 以此时间为轴,两年之前,1940年,他的自传《昨日的世界》写就;两年之后,1944年,该书才得以出版。 在茨威格写这本书时,他在给朋友的信中说:“出于绝望,我正在写我一生的历史。” 茨威格的一生经历了十九世...
评分 评分很久以前在圆明园的一个书摊上买了北大版的<<海涅 席勒与茨威格>>,那是我第一次听说茨威格。 当时只对有关海涅的文章感兴趣,对书中介绍的茨威格的爱情小说<<一个陌生女人的来信>>和<<焦灼的心灵>>不是很上心。茨威格这个名字也就从此放下了。 今年初由看陀思妥耶夫斯...

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.
agreeable melancholy
评分The world is not a friendly place for the cosmopolitan. Maybe never.
评分in the last resort, every shadow is also the child of light, and only those who have known the light and the dark, have seen war and peace, rise and fall, have truly lived their lives. 茨威格对我最大诱惑是他那行云流水文字中带出来云卷云舒的回忆。话说最近有看完一本立刻买三本的不良习惯,可哪里有时间呢。
评分长见识
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.
