World of Yesterday

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was a poet, novelist, and dramatist, but it was his biographies that expressed his full genius, recreating for his international audience the Elizabethan age, the French Revolution, the great days of voyages and discoveries. In this autobiography he holds the mirror up to his own age, telling the story of a generation that "was loaded down with a burden of fate as was hardly any other in the course of history." Zweig attracted to himself the best minds and loftiest souls of his era: Freud, Yeats, Borgese, Pirandello, Gorky, Ravel, Joyce, Toscanini, Jane Addams, Anatole France, and Romain Rolland are but a few of the friends he writes about.

"The autobiography of the internationally famous biographer and dramatist is a chronicle of three ages: the golden days of Vienna that ended with Word War I; that war and its aftermath; and the Hitler years. The three ages do come to life in Zweig's book." Publishers Weekly "The very success with which this book evokes both the beauty of the past and the fatality of its passing is what gives it tragic effectiveness. It is not so much a memoir of a life as it is the memento of an age, and the author seems, in his own phrase, to be the narrator at an illustrated lecture. The illustrations are provided by time, but his choice is brilliant and the narration is evocative." The New Republic
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) wuchs als Sohn einer jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie in Wien auf. Er schrieb Gedichte, Novellen, Dramen und Essays, die 1933 der Bücherverbrennung der Nazis zum Opfer fielen. Er lebte von 1919 bis 1934 in Salzburg, emigrierte von dort nach England und 1941 nach Brasilien. Sein episches Werk machte ihn ebenso berühmt wie seine historischen Miniaturen und die biographischen Arbeiten. Am 23. Februar 1942 schied er in Petrópolis, Brasilien, freiwillig aus dem Leben.
