Verden av i går er Stefan Zweigs erindringer fra hans oppvekst i Wien i et kulturelt og kosmopolitisk miljø. Dette er under den trygge, gylne tiden inntil den optimistiske troen på fornuften og fremtiden plutselig går i grus ved utbruddet av 1. verdenskrig. I mellomkrigstiden utvikler Zweigs forfatterskap seg og blir et av de mest leste.

Da novellen Amokløper/Amok utkom i 1922, var begrepet ”amok” fremdeles et ukjent begrep. Zweig lånte det fra indonesisk kultur, hvor det beskriver en tilstand der en person angriper en fiende i blindt raseri og forsøker å drepe både fienden og alle andre som står i veien. Som mange av Zweigs verker har Amok/Amokløper en psykologisk bakgrunn. Den handler om en leges ekstreme besettelse og forfølgelse av en kvinne som er blitt gravid utenfor ekteskapet og som nå vil ha legen til å utføre en abort.
