Stefan Zweig (November 28, 1881, Schottenring 14, Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria - February 22, 1942, Petropolis, Brazil) was an Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist and biographer.Zweig was the son of Moritz Zweig, a wealthy Jewish textile manufacturer, and Ida (Brettauer) Zweig, from an Italian banking family. He studied philosophy and the history of literature, and in Vienna he was associated with the avant garde Young Vienna movement. Religion did not play a central role in his education. My mother and father were Jewish only through accident of birth, Zweig said later in an interview. Yet he did not renounce his Jewish faith and wrote repeatedly on Jewish themes. Although his essays were published in the Neue Freie Presse, whose literary editor was the Zionist leader Theodor Herzl, Zweig was not attracted to Herzl's Jewish nationalism.
