Stefan Zweig was a wildly popular writer of compelling short fiction: in this collection there are peaks of extraordinary emotion, stories of all that is human crushed by the movements of history, of letters that fill a young heart or drive a person towards death, of obsession and desire. They will stay with the reader for ever.
Autoren-Porträt von Stefan Zweig
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.

Pressezitat
"Zweig's impassioned pursuit of personal freedom seems more relevant than ever." - Newsweek "One of the masters of the short story." - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian
"Zweig belongs with those masters of the novella-Maupassant, Turgenev, Chekhov." - Paul Bailey
"One of the joys of recent years is the translation into English of Stefan Zweig's stories. They have an astringency of outlook and a mastery of scale that I find enormously enjoyable." - Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with the Amber Eyes
"For far too long, our links with Zweig... have been broken. Pushkin Press's phenomenal, heartbreaking collection is a reminder that it's time to forge them again." - Los Angeles Review of Books
"Zweig, prolific storyteller and embodiment of a vanished Mitteleuropa, seems to be back, and in a big way." - New York Times
