Acerca de esta escucha

Stefan Zweig's memoir, The World of Yesterday, recalls the golden age of prewar Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall with the onset of two world wars. Zweig's passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction. It is an unusually humane account of Europe from the closing years of the 19th century through to World War II, seen through the eyes of one of the most famous writers of his era. Zweig's books (novels, biographies, essays) were translated into numerous languages, and he moved in the highest literary circles; he also encountered many leading political and social figures of his day.

The World of Yesterday is a remarkable, totally engrossing history. This translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig's writing in arguably his most important work, completed shortly before his tragic death in 1942. It is read with sympathy and understanding by David Horovitch.

Stefan Zweig wrote so clearly that I suspect that if had written a commentary on the telephone book, it would make for fascinating reading.
The World of Yesterday evokes the decades leading up to World War II in Europe, most notably in Austria, as ones of high culture and good relations among its people. That all changed with the rise of Hitler and the Nazis.

Beautifully written

Paradoxical - beautiful descriptions of Zweig's charmed life before WWI and during the Weimar republic, imbued with sadness and foreboding of WWIi. The joy of life that shines through is hard to reconcile with his suicide - taking his young wife with him - so soon after finishing the book. Beautifully read.

What a hidden little gem. One of the best books ever about this time in Europe.

Fantastic

This, my introduction to Stefan Zweig, prompted me to order more than a dozen of his works. He is a brilliant writer who cheated the world of more of his understanding by his suicide. I ordered his other works in hardcover for the purpose of note taking and with the thought of permanence in my library. Even though this audio version was very well read, I desire also a hardcover copy of this to highlight and retrieve the many collectable and quotable things he wrote.

Good reminder of humanity, culture and evolving history. Great story describing Europe of the past.

True classic

I loved this book. It is beautifully written. It is filled with great insights and moments. But most importantly it was a history lesson for me. One always hears that the asssasination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the cause of WWI. That was always a meaningless fact to me. Zweig's telling, in his voice, having lived through it, gave it meaning. The book is filled with these enlightening descriptions.,

A History lesson

A five star experience!
