Book Reviews of The World of Yesterday: An Autobiography
Book Review: A Literary Discovery
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of Stefan Zweig. This auto-biography/history is very moving, sad and yet joyous. It gives a wonderful insight into the first four decades of the last century. Though written in 1941, Zweig's insights and observations about the brutality and barbarism of the Nazi regime proved to be correct. His description of a lack of homeland and the destruction of his lifework makes his subsequent suicide easier to understand. His name should be more recognizable by English readers. I would love to see his other biographies translated into English.
