New York. 1954. Hastings House. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Translated from the German & Edited by Henry G. Alsberg with the assistance of Erna MacArthur. 344 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature Letters Germany Austria Biography Autobiography. FROM THE PUBLISHER - These letters, exchanged between two outstanding literary figures over three decades, are the record not only of a passionate and touching personal relationship but also the tragic reaction of a great soul to the disintegration of the world he knew and loved. But this correspondence is more than the history of a great and, in the end, despairing love. It is also a documentary history of the political and artistic life of Western Europe in our time. Stefan Zweig was in close contact with the leading figures of his day in politics and the arts. ‘These pages are star-sprinkled with famous names- Romain Rolland, Rilke, Rathenau, Bahr, H. G. Wells, Valery, Gorky, Richard Strauss, Hofmannsthal, Arthur Schnitzler, Jules Romains, and a host of other luminaries. Zweig knew them intimately and his thumb-nail portraits of them are unforgettable. Stefan and Friderike met in 1912; Friderike fell in love on sight, having already been enamoured of Stefan's poetry. The first letters are hers; his answers were lost or stolen during the Nazi invasion of France in 1940. But behind the tender lines of her letters his figure is clearly discerned-the already great man of letters attracted by this young woman just emerging from the chrysalis of Austrian upper-class society into a career of noteworthy self-expression. The attraction was mutual, but years of struggle had to be endured before there could be legal sanction to their marriage. Meanwhile the agony of realization of the futility of World War I, with all its hardshi1)s for Austria and the rest of the world, made pacifists of them both. Romain Rolland was their faithful mentor during this bitter period while Stefan and Friderike traveled from one end of Europe to the other, sometimes together, at other times separately. The letters written during these separations hold much of interest-both were poets, both had a sensitive love of landscape and a deep insight into people. So there are nostalgic pictures of Switzerland, of Italy, Paris, the Côte d'Azur, of Germany between two great wars. With the gradual swelling of Nazi hysteria, Stefan first, and then Friderike, became fugitives; he migrated to England and then embarked on a lecture tour of South America. He came back to England but later returned to an(l settled in Brazil. There, depressed by his fate as an exile, banned in his native land and with his books burned by the Nazis, Stefan fell victim to a constantly increasing melancholia, though he continued to write more industriously than ever. Though he and Friderike had, before that, come to a parting of the ways, their exchange of letters continued, and their spiritual and intellectual comradeship gained new poignancy. Finally in 1942, in a period of intense depression at his little house in Petropolis, Stefan took his own life. His last letter to Friderike was dated the day of his death. Stefan Zweig needs no introduction to the American public; his works have been admired here perhaps more than those of any other contemporary German writer, with the possible exception of Thomas Mann. Friderike Zweig is also an outstanding figure in contemporary German literature, with novels, poetry, biographies and translations to her credit. She is the author of Stefan Zweig which has appeared in translation in this country, and is at present at work on a new novel. inventory #34404

This is a biography of Erasmus (1469-1536), one of the most famous Humanist of his time - a great scholar of the northern Renaissance, a pacifist, a contrarian, and the compiler of the first edition of the Greek New Testament to be printed and distributed.

Many of my books are from the 19th Century. Books were not written in at that time, instead an index card with info. Am enclosing the one found in this book for you. Enjoy. The greatest and most brilliant star of his century... His numerous works, written in Latin, sleep undisturbed upon the shelves of libraries; hardly a single one of them, though in their day they enjoyed worldwide fame, has any message to our epoch." - from page 3. Kirkus Review: The success of Marie Antoinette the brilliant genius of the biographer himself, entitle this book to a place on the Must list. But the subject matter of necessity limits his scope, for source material is inadequate, and Erasmus is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. This is a ruthless, clinical study of a man who, almost forgotten today, was in his time courted by kings, princes and popes. Idealist, humanist, supernationalist, scholar, individualist to the point of weakness, a coward in his avoidance of the position of leadership in a world demanding a leader, but giving the necessary push to the Reformation, with rapier-like thrust. The book is a character analysis rather than a biography. The early part seems at times padded. But with the stirring narrative of the fight between Luther and Erasmus the story gathers speed, ending with Erasmus' death in Basle. A merciless and brilliant book; Zweig gives his subject full mood of praise and unsparing criticism. Shipping/Handling/Insurance/Tracking Included within the continental U.S. (Free Shipping).
