Overview

Before settling on The World of Yesterday as the title for his autobiography, Stefan Zweig had considered My Three Lives. It would have been an appropriate title, for his life was, in fact, comprised of three major stages: his early years in fin de siecle Vienna and subsequent rise up the literary ranks; the two decades of constant work, popular acclaim, and personal happiness with his first wife in Salzburg; and his self-imposed exile from Austria. In this biography, Oliver Matuschek meticulously examines the complex life of the Austrian writer, combing through previously inaccessible or unknown letters and documents to trace Zweig's journey from celebrated author to desperate man and suicidal man who would ultimately take his life in a small Brazilian town. Antes de escoger El mundo de ayer como el titulo de su autobiografia, Stefan Zweig habia considerado usar Mis tres vidas. Hubiese sido un titulo apropiado ya que, en efecto, su vida constaba de tres grandes etapas: sus anos de aprendizaje en Viena finisecular y los posteriores de ascenso en el escalafon literario; los dos decenios de trabajo constante, exito popular y brillo mundano que vivio con su primera esposa en Salzburgo; y su exilio de Austria. En esta biografia, Oliver Matuschek meticulosamente investiga la compleja vida del escritor austriaco, basandose en cartas y documentos hasta ahora inaccesibles o desconocidos para trazar el viaje de Zweig desde autor celebre hasta un hombre desesperado y suicida que terminaria tomandose la vida en un pequeno pueblo brasileno.
