by Stefan Zweig

Overview

Estas memorias, escritas durante su exilio, siguiendo las noticias del desastre que supuso el regimen nazi, son a la vez un recuerdo del pasado y una advertencia para las generaciones futuras. El mundo de ayer recuerda la edad de oro de la Viena literaria: su aparente permanencia, su promesa y su devastadora caída. Stefan Zweig dibuja un relato vívido e íntimo de su vida y viajes por Viena, París, Berlín y Londres, tocando el corazón mismo de la cultura europea. Su prosa apasionada y evocadora pinta un retrato impresionante de una era que bailaba brillantemente al borde de la extinción.

In 1941 Zweig and his second wife traveled to Brazil, where they both committed suicide. NYRB Classics published his novels Chess Story and Beware of Pity.
