Description

By the creator who impressed Wes Anderson’s movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel

Written as each a recollection of the earlier and a caution for long run generations, The International of Yesterday recollects the golden age of literary Vienna—its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.

Surrounded by means of the major literary lighting fixtures of the epoch, Stefan Zweig attracts a shiny and intimate account of his existence and travels via Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching at the very middle of Eu tradition. His passionate, evocative prose paints a shocking portrait of an technology that danced brilliantly at the fringe of extinction.

This new translation by means of award-successful Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig’s writing in arguably his such a lot revealing paintings.
