Stefan Zweig - Portrait d'un auteur profondément humaniste et pacifiste

Born into a wealthy Viennese Jewish family, Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was one of the most famous writers of his time, widely translated in the 1920s and 1930s and particularly acclaimed for his essays and biographies of major literary and historical figures.

From his youth in the safe world of pre-1914 Vienna, within a generation of young creative minds eager to broaden their cultural and intellectual horizons—Hugo von Hofmannstahl, Arnold Schoenberg, Arthur Schnitzler, Max Reinhardt, Sigmund Freud—to his final years spent wandering in exile, passages from Zweig's life story provide a striking glimpse into the lucid perception and desperate anguish of a major 20th-century literary figure.
