2001. 96pp. B&W frontispiece. Two novellas. "Zweig explores the nature of desire in showing us two lives led in the single-minded pursuit of art and literature, of existential truth against the background of a disintegrating and corrupt Europe. The tragic irony of these two contrasted destinies forces us to confront our own understanding of the purpose of life and art." Minor wear at corners. The book is otherwise in excellent condition. There are no inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean.

�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The Invisible Collection and Buchmundel are two of Stefan Zweig's most compelling novellas, linked by the theme of obsession. Zweig explores the nature of desire in showing us two lives led in the single-minded pursuit of art and literature, of existential truth against the background of a disintegrating and corrupt Europe.

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York-a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.
