Story
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.

Story
"The others form the human being, I depict him; and here I present an individual who is quite poorly formed and whom I would certainly make largely differently if I had to reshape him. But now that's the way he is." This phrase from the famous essays of Michel de Montaigne outlines the character of the author and his work. Montaigne wrote his essays not from a position of certainty but from an awareness of his inadequacy. He thus reveals a level of critical self-reflection that, before his time, was rarely put on paper.

Story
In the twilight of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, a young cavalry officer is invited to a dance at the home of a rich landowner. There - with a small act of attempted charity - he commits a simple faux pas. But from this seemingly insignificant blunder comes a tale of catastrophe arising from kindness and of honour poisoned by self-regard. Beware of Pity has all the intensity and the formidable sense of torment and of character of the very best of Zweig's work. Definitive translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell.

Story
Le cynisme de la boutade aura beaucoup fait pour la fâcheuse réputation de Marie-Antoinette. Des Parisiens affamés, elle aurait dit : "Ils n'ont pas de pain ? Qu'ils mangent de la brioche !" Mot très certainement apocryphe, mais révélateur du portrait de femme futile et débauchée qui fut fait de l'"Autrichienne" après la Révolution.

Story
With the age of voyages of discovery in the 15th century, the curtain of history slowly came down on the late Middle Ages. Portuguese and Spanish seafarers set out to remeasure the dimensions of the earth. Numerous spices and fruits, which we would hardly be able to do without today, found their way to Europe for the first time. Columbus discovered America in 1492 on his quest for India. Six years later, it was left to Vasco da Gama to travel through the sea route to India sought by Columbus on the eastern route around Africa.

Story
According to Stefan Zweig, no contemporary author, not even Marx or Nietzsche, delivered the radical spiritual shock that Tolstoy's works gave millions and millions of people around the world. But which Tolstoy are we talking about? For Zweig it is the essayist Tolstoy, the radical thinker and incorruptible anarchist. The Tolstoy who claims that the state is the great cover-up of social injustice through a complex system of violence based on parliaments, prisons, judges, tax collectors, the police and armies.

Story
In this book, Stefan Zweig traces 12 fateful events of world history in his unique artistic style: from the conquest of the Byzantine capital of Constantinople by the Turks, to the Battle of Waterloo to Sir Robert Falcon Scott's tragic South Pole expedition. The human character and sometimes simple fate are decisive historic factors that have led to dramatic and lasting changes in the past. Often short, coincidental and highly dramatic moments have the potential to change the future of mankind in a decisive manner – the so called "Great Moments of Humanity".

Einfühlsame und detaillierte Beschreibungen zeigen die "Königin des Rokokos" als sorglos-heitere junge Frau, die auf unzähligen durchtanzten Maskenbällen alle Pflichten einer Königin vergisst. "Wo aber die an den Augenschein streng gebundene Forschung endet, beginnt die freie und beschwingte Kunst der Seelenschau.

Story
Stefan Zweig dedicated this largely biographical work to the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Zweig acknowledges Freud's scientific contributions and highlights some weaknesses of his fellow countryman. Freud's actual achievement is less to be found in scientific detail, but in the multitude of his contributions with which he enabled and inspired the thinking, rethinking and research of many of his successors. Zweig describes the life of Freud and the genesis of psychoanalysis with his usual linguistic virtuosity.

"Dickens is the highest poetic expression of the English tradition between the heroic century of Napoleon, the glorious past, and imperialism, the dream of his future. (...) Only when one hates the hypocritical narrow-mindedness of Victorian culture from the bottom of one's soul can one appreciates with full admiration the genius of a man who compelled us to find this disgusting world of sated sluggishness interesting and almost endearing, who redeemed life's most banal prose into poetry".

Story
A dazzling biographical study of the greatest German philosopher of the nineteenth century by one of the most widely read German-language authors of the twentieth century. In this vivid and eloquent biography, Zweig largely eschews the traditional academic discourse on the philosopher's work, instead concentrating entirely on Nietzsche as a person, his habits, his passions and his obsessions. Stefan Zweig describes the tragedy of Nietzsche's existence, his seclusion from the world, in self-imposed isolation, in a compelling and impressive way.

"Ein Glücksfall ausgereifter Erzählkunst" (Rüdiger Görner). In der letzten Erzählung Stefan Zweigs – sie erschien nur wenige Monate vor seinem Freitod im Exil in Brasilien – treffen bei einem Schachspiel auf einem Passagierdampfer die Kontrahenten auch völlig unterschiedlicher Kulturen aufeinander. Der Großmeister Czentovic, machtbewußt, mit schlichtem Gemüt und nur an Bereicherung interessiert, steht dem rätselhaften Dr. B. gegenüber, der als ehemaliger Vermögensverwalter des österreichischen Adels und Klerus, in Gefangenschaft der Nationalsozialisten geriet.

Marie Antoinette (1755-1793) ging als berühmtestes Opfer der Guillotine in die europäische Geschichte ein: Stefan Zweig hat sich in dieser Biographie dem schwierigen Charakter der Marie Antoinette gewidmet. Die Schilderung des Lebens Marie Antoinettes, der Tochter Maria Theresias, gleicht der Besichtigung eines Zeitalters am Vorabend der Neuen Zeit. Dokumentarisch belegte Geschichte wird dabei erzählt, die Heldin weder glorifiziert noch unterschätzt.
