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.
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.

1942年2月22日,奧地利作傢斯蒂芬·茨威格和妻子雙雙自殺離世。 以此時間為軸,兩年之前,1940年,他的自傳《昨日的世界》寫就;兩年之後,1944年,該書纔得以齣版。 在茨威格寫這本書時,他在給朋友的信中說:“齣於絕望,我正在寫我一生的曆史。” 茨威格的一生經曆瞭十九世...
評分讀瞭這本書,徹底放棄民~~族主~義!! 以前我也是一個憤青,被從小的教育給XN,——真慶幸能夠讀瞭這本書。它帶給我的,最直接的思想就是,民~~族主~義是罪惡的根源。這個我從來都沒有感到過,隻覺得,愛國是天經地義的,是必不可少的,是與生俱來的。我大學時候傻到...

圖書標籤: Zweig 迴憶錄 茨威格 英文原版 歐洲 自傳 奧地利 文化
我隱約可以體會為什麼有些人會指責茨威格虛僞。他的見解和評價能做到如此公正全麵,多半是下筆前好生躊躇瞭一番。這樣一來,最原始,尖銳的想法也就被模糊掉,變的不溫不火瞭。另外,昨日的世界簡直就是名人收集花名冊!帶dali去拜訪佛洛依德這種事情都齣現瞭,真熊,真熊啊
評分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. 茨威格對我最大誘惑是他那行雲流水文字中帶齣來雲捲雲舒的迴憶。話說最近有看完一本立刻買三本的不良習慣,可哪裏有時間呢。
評分文筆相當贊。總覺著zweig小說比較悶,但迴憶錄讀來zweig還是如此有性情的hard-core liberal. 很喜歡幾句今夕對比的描寫:Sometimes we have no wine, sometimes we have no goblet. There is always a mysterious conflict in every artist; if life treats him roughly he longs for peace and calm, but if he comes into safe harbour he longs to be back in the turmoil.
