Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was an Austrian writer whose life and work vividly encapsulate the tumultuous spirit of early 20th-century Europe. Born into a wealthy Jewish family in Vienna, Zweig was a cosmopolitan intellectual who spoke multiple languages and traveled extensively. His literary oeuvre spans novels, short stories, biographies, and essays, all marked by psychological depth and a profound humanism.Zweig's work often delved into the complexities of the human psyche and the moral ambiguities of his time. His biographies of historical figures like Marie Antoinette, Erasmus, and Magellan are celebrated for their narrative flair and psychological insight, transforming dry historical accounts into compelling human dramas.A pacifist and advocate for European unity, Zweig's ideals were deeply shaken by the rise of fascism and the outbreak of World War II. His exile from Nazi-occupied Austria led him to various countries, ultimately settling in Brazil. The despair of witnessing the disintegration of the cultural world he cherished culminated in his tragic suicide in 1942, alongside his wife Lotte.Zweig's influence extends to contemporary writers who admire his elegant prose and empathetic character portrayals. His life and work continue to resonate, offering poignant reflections on the fragility of civilization and the enduring quest for understanding and connection in a fragmented world. His legacy is a testament to the enduring power of literature to transcend time and place, touching the hearts and minds of readers across generations.
