He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.

BUCHBESPRECHUNG: "What did Zweig have that brought him the fanatical devotion of millions of readers, the admiration of Herman Hesse, the invitation to give the eulogy at the funeral of Sigmund Freud? To learn that, we would have to have a biography that illuminated all aspects of his work, that read all of his books, and that challenged, rather than accepted, the apparent modesty of his statements about his life and work." - Benjamin Moser, Bookforum "Touching and delightful. Those adjectives are not meant as faint praise. Zweig may be especially appealing now because rather than being a progenitor of big ideas, he was a serious entertainer, and an ardent and careful observer of habits, foibles, passions and mistakes." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times "Zweig is the most adult of writers civilised, urbane, but never jaded or cynical a realist who none the less believed in the possibility-the necessity-of empathy." - Independent "Zweig's genius as a storyteller encompasses the brainy as well as those of average intelligence, the very rich and the desperately poor. He deserves to be famous again, and for good." - The Times Literary Supplement "To read Zweig is to be in the presence of a properly mature writer, for all that his characters are often in the grip of highly inappropriate desires." - Guardian "One hardly knows where to begin in praising Zweig's work. One gets the impression that he actively preferred to write about women, and about the great moral crises that send shivers down the spines of polite society." - Nicholas Lezard, Guardian "In the 1920s and 30s, Stefan Zweig was one of the most famous writers in the world. Thanks to the enterprising Pushkin Press, it is now possible to read the novellas on which his reputation must finally depend." - P aul Bailey, Times Literary Supplement "Fortunately, the Pushkin Press has been publishing some of Zweig's works in fluent translations and handsome editions ... My advice is that you should go out at once and buy his books." - Anthony Daniels, The Sunday Telegraph BIOGRAFIE Zweig, Stefan (AT): Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) wuchs als Sohn einer jüdischen Kaufmannsfamilie in Wien auf. Er schrieb Gedichte, Novellen, Dramen und Essays, die 1933 der Bücherverbrennung der Nazis zum Opfer fielen. Er lebte von 1919 bis 1934 in Salzburg, emigrierte von dort nach England und 1941 nach Brasilien. Sein episches Werk machte ihn ebenso berühmt wie seine historischen Miniaturen und die biographischen Arbeiten. Am 23. Februar 1942 schied er in Petrópolis, Brasilien, freiwillig aus dem Leben.
