About this audiobook
Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) war ein österreichischer Schriftsteller, dessen Werke für ihre psychologische Raffinesse, emotionale Tiefe und stilistische Brillanz bekannt sind. Er wurde 1881 in Wien in eine jüdische Familie geboren. Seine Kindheit verbrachte er in einem intellektuellen Umfeld, das seine spätere Karriere als Schriftsteller prägte. Zweig zeigte früh eine Begabung für Literatur und begann zu schreiben. Nach seinem Studium der Philosophie, Germanistik und Romanistik an der Universität Wien begann er seine Karriere als Schriftsteller und Journalist. Er reiste durch Europa und pflegte Kontakte zu prominenten zeitgenössischen Schriftstellern und Intellektuellen wie Rainer Maria Rilke, Sigmund Freud, Thomas Mann und James Joyce. Zweigs literarisches Schaffen umfasst Romane, Novellen, Essays, Dramen und Biografien. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken gehören "Die Welt von Gestern", eine autobiografische Darstellung seiner eigenen Lebensgeschichte und der Zeit vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg, sowie die "Schachnovelle", die die psychologischen Abgründe des menschlichen Geistes beschreibt. Mit dem Aufstieg des Nationalsozialismus in Deutschland wurde Zweig aufgrund seiner Herkunft und seiner liberalen Ansichten zunehmend zur Zielscheibe der Nazis. Er verließ Österreich im Jahr 1934 und lebte in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern, bevor er schließlich ins Exil nach Brasilien emigrierte. Trotz seines Erfolgs und seiner weltweiten Anerkennung litt Zweig unter dem Verlust seiner Heimat und der Zerstörung der europäischen Kultur. 1942 nahm er sich gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Lotte das Leben in Petrópolis, Brasilien. Zweigs literarisches Erbe lebt weiter und sein Werk wird auch heute noch von Lesern auf der ganzen Welt geschätzt und bewundert.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Un amor infantil, adicto y enfermizo. No habla de un amor adulto.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Magnífico relato lleno de sentimientos y pasiones donde el maestro Zweig nos deleita con la profunda descripción psicológica de sus personajes.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Letter from an unknown woman (1922) is a novella written in the form of a long letter. Purport of the letter is the sickly adoration of a young woman for a successful novelist. In the letter, the woman claims to have grown up in the house where the novelist lives, and proclaims that she has loved him from the first day she had known him. The long letter describes her life-long stalking of the novelist, who was however, unaware of her existence. The woman also claims to have slept with him, as a prostitute, like the many, many women in his life, whom she had seen passing on the stairs.The woman also claims to have borne the author a child, a son, who died in the 1918 Flu Pandemic, to which the woman is about to succumb.In her letter, the woman repeatedly writes that she has remained in obscurity because she does not want to trouble the novelist, but obviously she does. The letter is not moving. Rather, as the woman's claims become more bold, even suggesting that the novelist's servant had recognized her, the reader starts wondering whether she might be insane. The way she is pressing herself upon him, anonymously, leaves the author impotent to fend for himself, unable to refute or deny.The novella does not give the reader even a glimpse of the style of writing of the novelist character; it merely describes his hedonist lifestyle. The letter, whether truthful or not shows the power of the written word, the power of fabulation, to penetrate his privacy. It demonstrates the weakness of women, but, ultimately also their power, which is a useless power, however.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A famous author receives long a letter from a woman, in which she proceeds to describe the love and full extent of the passion she has felt for him ever since she was a young girl. The woman claims she has lost her only child moments before picking up her pen, and that these are her final words before dying. The deep pathos of the situation is impossible to resist, as is the narrative, in which the woman describes how her obsession for this man has shaped her life. Very moving.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A short story full of passion, deception and misery.Such a great glimpse of any woman's heart told smartly and with such delicacy that it's impossible not to feel moved.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A man receives a letter from someone who tells him that though he doesn't know her, she was in love with him. The letter goes on to describe this love and what came of it. A really interesting read, hard to put down but very sad!
