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
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
The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by a besieging army of around 80,000 men led by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II ended the Byzantine Empire. The city's defense was in the hands of Emperor Constantine XI, who had 7,000 to 10,000 soldiers at his disposal and, likely, fell during the last storm on the city. The fall of the Byzantine Empire also marked the final rise of the Ottoman Empire to become a major power. The conquest has a high symbolic value in both Turkish and Western European reception.

Story
Lenin's journey in a sealed train took place in April 1917 during the First World War. The journey took Vladimir Ilyich Lenin together with other emigrants from Swiss exile through the German Reich via Scandinavia to Petrograd, today's Saint Petersburg. The "sealed train" was only used on the German part of the route. Lenin's arrival in Russia led to the 1917 revolution and the peace treaty between Russia and Germany in March 1918.

Story
Auf einer Schiffsreise von New York nach Buenos Aires kommt der Ich-Erzähler dem arroganten Schachweltmeister Mirko Czentovic erst nahe, als sich dieser bereit erklärt, gegen alle Hobbyspieler gemeinsam eine Partie zu spielen. Als diese schon verloren scheint, greift ein Dr. B. in das Spiel ein und holt gegen Czentovic noch ein Remis heraus. Durch Dr. B.s seltsames Spielfieber neugierig gemacht, will der Ich-Erzähler mehr von ihm erfahren. Daraufhin berichtet ihm Dr. B. von seiner monatelangen Einzelhaft im Wiener Gestapo-Gefängnis, wo er dem Irrewerden nur dadurch entkam, dass er aus einem entwendeten Schachbuch Meisterpartien nachspielte.

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.

Story
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.

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".

Story
Robert Falcon Scott was a British naval officer and polar explorer. He led the Discovery Expedition (1901-1904) and the Terra Nova Expedition (1910-1913), two voyages of exploration during the so-called Golden Age of Antarctic exploration. He is among the first ten people to reach the geographic South Pole. His Terra Nova expedition developed into a competition with Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen. Scott reached the pole on January 18, 1912, realizing that Amundsen and his crew of four had preempted him by about a month.

Le Monde d'hier est l'un des plus grands livres-témoignages de notre époque. Zweig y retrace l'évolution de l'Europe de 1895 à 1941, le destin d'une génération entière d'hommes confrontés plus brutalement que d'autres à l'Histoire et à toutes les "catastrophes imaginables". Chroniqueur de l'Âge d'or européen, Zweig évoque avec bonheur sa vie de bourgeois privilégié dans la Vienne d'avant 1914 et quelques grandes figures qui furent ses amis : Schnitzler, Rilke, Rolland, Freud ou Valéry.

Story
Publicada en 1929, "Fouché, el genio tenebroso", es una de las mayores obras maestras de Stefan Zweig. Una obra apasionante e hipnótica, que no deja indiferente a nadie. Joseph Fouché (1759 - 1820) fue uno de los personajes más controvertidos de la Revolución Francesa. Hipócrita, tenebroso y maquiavélico, votó a favor de la muerte de Luis XVI y María Antonieta y fue responsable de sangrientas represalias. Luego, sintiéndose amenazado por Robespierre, participó activamente en la conspiración termidoriana.

Story
Der Erzähler sucht auf einer Schiffspassage von Kalkutta nach Neapel die nächtliche Einsamkeit - und trifft auf einen einsamen, sich offenbar versteckenden Herrn, der ihm nur zögernd seine Geschichte anvertraut. Zuerst vorsichtig, dann immer offener werdend, bis er sich seelisch völlig entblößt, erzählt er von seinem Schicksal im indischen Dschungel als Stationsarzt - ein ereignisloses Leben, bis eines Tages eine Frau auftaucht, die ihn völlig in ihren Bann schlägt. Das Drama beginnt, und Zweigs Erzählung entwickelt eine Wucht, der man sich nicht entziehen kann.

José Fouché fue uno de los hombres mas poderosos de su època y uno de los mas extraordinarios de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, ni gozó de simpatias entre sus contempordneos ni se le ha hecho justicia en la posteridad. A Napoleóni en Santa Elena, a Robespierre entre los jacobinos, a Carnot, Barras y Talleyrand en sus respectivas Memorias, y a todos los historiadores franceses — realistas, republicanos o bonapartistas—, la piuma les rezuma hiel cuando escriben su nombre.
