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.

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.
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...

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 评分自己开了一个公众号,都是读书笔记,写着玩 ID:xicowebi(夏虫问冰) 都道20世纪世界乱成一团麻,然而,战争的记忆随着上上辈老人家的离世而消失,重复安稳的生活早已让当下的人好了伤疤忘了痛。回溯到一百年前的今天,正如当下一般,又何曾有谁打心底里相信,风风火火的大...
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.
评分agreeable melancholy
评分聽完有聲書(連footnote都讀了!可以說很敬業了)總的來說更喜歡舊版翻譯
