Reviews
" The World of Yesterday is one of the greatest memoirs of the twentieth century, as perfect in its evocation of the world Zweig loved as it is in its portrayal of how that world was destroyed."-David Hare, awardwinning playwright and director of film and theater, " The World of Yesterday is ostensibly an autobiography, but it is much more than that. In this remarkably fine new translation, Anthea Bell perfectly captures Stefan Zweig's glorious evocation of a lost world, Vienna's golden age, in which he grew up and flourished."--Ronald Harwood, award-winning author, playwright, and screenwriter " The World of Yesterday is one of the greatest memoirs of the twentieth century, as perfect in its evocation of the world Zweig loved as it is in its portrayal of how that world was destroyed."--David Hare, award-winning playwright and director of film and theater "The very success with which this book evokes both the beauty of the past and the fatality of its passing is what gives it tragic effectiveness. It is not so much a memoir of a life as it is the memento of an age, and the author seems, in his own phrase, to be the narrator at an illustrated lecture. The illustrations are provided by time, but his choice is brilliant and the narration is evocative."-- New Republic "The autobiography of the internationally famous biographer and dramatist is a chronicle of three ages: the golden days of Vienna that ended with World War I; that war and its aftermath; and the Hitler years. Three ages do come to life in Zweig's book."-- Publishers Weekly "When I opened it, I immediately felt that rare thrill one experiences when meeting a great book."-- Newsday.com "A searing memoir."-- Intelligent Life, "When I opened it, I immediately felt that rare thrill one experiences when meeting a great book."- Newsday.com, " The World of Yesterday is one of the greatest memoirs of the twentieth century, as perfect in its evocation of the world Zweig loved as it is in its portrayal of how that world was destroyed."-David Hare, award-winning playwright and director of film and theater, "When I opened it, I immediately felt that rare thrill one experiences when meeting a great book."- Newsday.com, "The autobiography of the internationally famous biographer and dramatist is a chronicle of three ages: the golden days of Vienna that ended with World War I; that war and its aftermath; and the Hitler years.

Synopsis
Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna - its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall. Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws an intimate account of his life in Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London., By the author who inspired Wes Anderson's film, The Grand Budapest Hotel Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna--its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall. Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws a vivid and intimate account of his life and travels through Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching on the very heart of European culture. His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction. This new translation by award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig's writing in arguably his most revealing work.

Beautifully written. (A little too full of his own gifted ness though, always comparing himself to others, which is sad-why do that on paper? Knowing that he committed suicide after completing this work gave me a task to work through— figure out the why? With his Jewish background he was so close to the source but missed HIM… it makes me so so sorry for him.
