Amsterdam: Uitgeverij Allert de Lange, 1980. Één van de prachtige uitvoeringen, waarin ook Thomas Mann: 'De dood in Venetië' en Joseph Roth: De legende van de heilige drinker' zijn verschenen. Oorspronkelijke titel: 'Schachnovelle'. Vertaald door Willem van Toorn. Omslag: Hans Versteeg. Binnenwerk: Agnes van Eijk. Dit is het laatste werk dat de Oostenrijkse schrijver Stefan Zweig in ballingschap schreef, voordat hij in 1942 samen met zijn vrouw zelfmoord pleegde. Het verhaal speelt zich af op een oceaanstomer. Twee schakers symboliseren de figuren van die tijd (Naziduitsland en de vrije westerse wereld). De één is een gewezen Gestapo-gevangene, die tijdens zijn gevangenschap een groot aantal schaakpartijen uit het hoofd heeft geleerd. Een gecultiveerd maar overgevoelig mens. De ander is het prototype van de succesvolle winnaar. Een koel berekenend mens. De confrontatie tussen de twee spelers symboliseert de botsing tussen bruutheid en beschaafdheid. 126 pag.. 1e druk.

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. He hated bigotry, desired freedom and independence, and was called "the man who laid the egg that Luther hatched." He is similar to the liberal minds of our own times.

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).

Spine of d j is a little faded. Overall, sturdy and presentable.. Author's Note: Although the three trilogies in this volume were written during a period of twenty-five years, all were, from the very first, parts of a single plan. I was drawn to the attempt to make clear the generic characteristics of the poetic type by means of the contrasts and likenesses of each trinity of creative figures in the three books. The first series, Three Masters was intended to depict, in the life and work of three writers of different nationality - Balzac, Dickens, and Dostoeffsky - the type of the world-portraying novelist; the third series, Adepts in Self-Portraiture, treated of the self-portraitists, the masters of autobiography, in the persons of Casanova, Stendhal, and Tolstoy. Between these two books came The Struggle with the Daimon, in which I sought to describe, in Hölderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche - as opposed to Goethe, the genius of self-preservation - the type of the self-destructive poet whose "daimon" at once drags him aloft and thrusts him down into the inner abyss. Of the three trilogies, Three Masters and Adepts in Self-Portraiture appeared in English shortly after their German Publication. The third, The Struggle with the Daimon, was held back for extrinsic reasons and now appears in English for the first time. Thus is finally brought to a close a work which, I hope, will, through the very differences of its nine characters, communicate the inner unity of its purpose: to show the eternal struggle that every artist is obliged to wage against reality for his work's sake. -- Stefan Zweig.

New York. 1942. February 1942. Viking Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. Translated from the German by Andrew St. James. 140 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by I. Steinberg. keywords: Literature Translated Germany History Biography. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Did Amerigo Vespucci discover America? He did not. Did he first set foot upon the mainland? He did not. Did he ever claim either of these achievements, or suggest that his name be bestowed upon this mundus novus? A proposal so audacious would never have occurred to him. By what grotesque coincidence, then, did ‘America' become the name of that new world which should have been called ‘Columbia'? In this erudite and witty book, Zweig untangles the snarl of accident and forgery that produced so astonishing a denouement. Once on the trail of this grandiose case of mistaken identity, Zweig fills in with rapid, revealing strokes the background against which it took place. He pictures the drugged world of the Middle Ages slowly regaining consciousness, reaching out to embrace all knowledge, to dare all unknown dangers, to grasp to itself the riches of an earth whose scope it had just begun to comprehend. He evaluates Vespucci's actual contribution to that greatest age of discovery, shows how an unsought notoriety was thrust upon him, and how he, the most honest and modest of men, was vilified for generations as a liar and braggart. Zweig's powers of characterization, his unerring faculty for getting at the import ant truth in the morass of ancient fact, have made him one of the most popular historians and biographers of our day. He has never had a subject better suited to his talents. inventory #7400

A wonderfully illustrated first edition copy of this celebration of the work of Ephraim Moses Lilien, in the original German. One of 1000 Limited Edition copies printed of first edition of this work in the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. An important and uncommonly found work, celebrating the art of Ephraim Moses Lilien (1874-1925), an art nouveau illustrator and printmaker who is sometimes considered first Zionist artist. He was notable for the Jewish themes in his art, and for his influence on the Bezalel school art movement. This work is introduced by the Austrian writer Stefan Zweig (1881-1942), who, in the 1920s and 1930s, was one of the most popular authors in the world. The work contains numerous reproductions of Lilien's bookplates, borders and illustrations, as well as a portrait of Lilien with a facsimile of his signature. 'In Rosenketten' has been tipped in by a previous owner, possibly replacing the original reproduction of this work printed in the book. Further tipped-in illustrations (created by Lilien) from a previous owner to pages 59, 60, 61, 214, 215, and 302. One tipped-in illustration obscures a different illustration printed in the book, another obscures a title of a work; the rest are tipped-in to blank pages. This book is otherwise complete, which is unusual for this work. In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally, generally smart, though faded to the spine, with small tears to the head and tail of the front joint. Shelf wear to the joints and extremities. Front hinge is starting and rear hinge is slightly strained, but both are firmly held. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean.
