the world of yesterday
Stefan Zweig
Synopsis "the world of yesterday"
By the author who inspired Wes Anderson's film, The Grand Budapest Hotel Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna--its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws a vivid and intimate account of his life and travels through Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching on the very heart of European culture. His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction.This new translation by award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig's writing in arguably his most revealing work.
(Viena, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brasil, 1942) escritor muy popular, tanto en su faceta de ensayista y biógrafo como en la de novelista, fue uno de los escritores más polifacéticos de la primera mitad del siglo XX. Su capacidad narrativa, la pericia y la delicadeza en la descripción de los sentimientos y la elegancia de su estilo lo convierten en un narrador fascinante. Se relacionó con los grandes autores de su tiempo: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H. G. Wells, Tagore, entre otros. Tras algunas décadas en las que sus obras se vieron inexplicablemente ignoradas, Zweig ha sido recuperado y actualmente goza del prestigio y la popularidad que por justicia literaria le correspondía.
