Über diesen Titel

Stefan Zweig's memoir, The World of Yesterday, recalls the golden age of prewar Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall with the onset of two world wars. Zweig's passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction. It is an unusually humane account of Europe from the closing years of the 19th century through to World War II, seen through the eyes of one of the most famous writers of his era. Zweig's books (novels, biographies, essays) were translated into numerous languages, and he moved in the highest literary circles; he also encountered many leading political and social figures of his day.

The World of Yesterday is a remarkable, totally engrossing history. This translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig's writing in arguably his most important work, completed shortly before his tragic death in 1942. It is read with sympathy and understanding by David Horovitch.

Very rich and eventful life of the author intertwined with cultural and political life of his age. I think humanity hasn’t lernt its lesson yet. How much we need his conscience in our world of today!

Loved it

I can’t but constantly mirror the things he’s describing with what’s happening now. This should be required reading for everyone and I can’t believe that it’s not.

Eerily prescient for our own times
