Velikán svetovej literatúry Stefan Zweig (1881 – 1942), spisovateľ, esejista, básnik a prekladateľ, stále oslovuje svojím dielom nových a nových čitateľov. V slovenskom preklade vyšli napríklad jeho romány Opojenie z premeny, Netrpezlivosť srdca, eseje Hviezdne hodiny ľudstva, Liečba duchom, autobiografický román Svet včerajška, biografické romány Balzac, Mária Antoinetta či Mária Stuartová. Sujetom poslednej Zweigovej knihy je renesančný mysliteľ, humanista a skeptik, otec literárnej esejistiky, Michel de Montaigne. Hoci biografia Montaigne nebola dokončená, zostali v nej autorove poznámky, ktoré zvykol vždy pred vydaním knihy odstrániť, nie je to jej nedostatkom, naopak. Podáva svedectvo nielen o Montaigneovi a jeho dobe, ale aj o Zweigovi. Biografia Montaigne vznikla šťastnou náhodou. Stefan Zweig utiekol s nacistami okupovanej Európy do Brazílie, kde sa usadil v meste Petrópolis. Práve tu objavil Montaigneove dvojzväzkové Eseje, ktoré vnímal ako útechu vo svojom postavení vyhnanca. Montaigneov životopis písal s veľkým zaujatím, videl paralelu medzi nacistickou brutalitou a náboženskými vojnami v časoch Montaigneových. Za štyristo rokov sa ľudstvo nezmenilo. Stefan Zweig vzdáva úctu Michelovi de Montaigne, človeku a humanistovi, ktorý nikdy nezradil svoje vnútorné presvedčenie a aj v najťažších časoch zostal homme libre, slobodným človekom. Slovenský preklad je doplnený o esej Mareka Kurtu Zweig vs Montaigne.

Audiokniha: Rakouský prozaik Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) začal psát biografii J. Fouchého "pro svoje soukromé potěšení" v Salcburku v roce 1929. Autorovi šlo podle slov předmluvy spíše o biografii "antihrdiny" než o biografii diplomata. Zweig sice několikrát zdůrazňoval, jak nesympatický mu policejní ministr tří režimů Fouché byl, ale zároveň mu tento výjimečný státník imponoval.Osobnost Josefa Fouchého zaujala Stefana Zweiga jako prototyp principiálního zrádce, bezcharakterního přeběhlíka, politického chameleona, který se vždy uměl přidat ke správné straně. Fouché byl mistr v oboru slídění, intrik a špionáže, byl to člověk nekompromisně bezcharakterní a bezpáteřní. Dokázal díky těmto svým vlastnostem přežít pád girondistů, jakobínů, direktoria, konzulátu, císařství, království a opět císařství - a zatímco se odvíjely největší události francouzské historie, tahal tento muž za politické nitky, spřádal intriky stále větší a dalekosáhlejší, špehoval, až se z bývalého jakobína stal vévodou z Otranta a mnohonásobným milionářem. Stefan Zweig pojal psychologický portrét svého "antihrdiny" jako osobnosti zcela amorální, zároveň však i beletristicky nesmírně zajímavé.

Audiokniha: Na výbuchy zvůle, fanatismu, násilí a nesnášenlivosti v Německu 30. let 20. století zareagoval rakouský prozaik a esejista Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) nepřímo, oklikou přes 16. století, století humanismu a reformace: napsal beletrizovaný životopis humanisty Erasma Rotterdamského (1934). Kniha je stejně jako jeho ostatní románové biografie založena na rozsáhlém pramenném bádání."Svět mého vlastního jazyka pro mne zanikl a má duchovní vlast, Evropa, sama sebe ničí," napsal Stefan Zweig v krátkém prohlášení před tím, než v noci z 22. na 23. února 1942 spolu s manželkou spáchal v brazilském městě Petropolis sebevraždu. "Mé síly jsou vyčerpány a dlouhými léty bezdomoveckého bloudění. Pokládám proto za lepší včas a vstoje ukončit život, jemuž vždy byla duchovní práce nejryzejší radostí a osobní svoboda nejvyšším statkem této Země?"

Životopis věhlasného esejisty Michela de Montaigne je závěrečným dílem Stefana Zweiga, které napsal v posledních týdnech svého života. V jedenácti kapitolách popisuje Zweig velmi podrobně a s velkým psychologickým vhledem a pochopením život a působení gaskoňského šlechtice, renesančního myslitele, humanisty, skeptika a otce literární esejistiky Montaigna, který vystupoval proti převládající vyprázdněné a životu vzdálené latinské vzdělanosti univerzit. Zasazoval se o svobodný a nezaujatý pohled na svět, přičemž své eseje psal jazykem pařížského tržiště, formou volných úvah o světě, životě a o sobě samém, neboť podle Montaigna "v sobě každý nese celou podobu lidského údělu". Biografie vznikla v podstatě shodou náhodných okolností. V brazilské Petrópolis, kam Zweig odešel z nacisty devastované Evropy, objevil Montaignovy dvousvazkové eseje, v jejichž autorovi nalezl mistra a učitele rezignace a ústupu k sobě samému. Texty pro Zweiga představovaly velkou útěchu a inspiraci. Montaigneho životopis proto napsal s vášnivým zaujetím, zjevně jako určitý druh terapie. Skutečná síla Zweigovy knihy však spočívá v paralele, nepředstavitelné brutality nacismu s dobou Montaignovou, náboženskými válkami a hrůznými krveprolitími. Stefan Zweig věnoval svou biografii samotnému Micheli de Montaigne jako vděk za příkladný život člověka, který nikdy nezradil své vnitřní přesvědčení a zůstal i v nejtěžších dobách homme libre: "Montaigne se pokusil o nejtěžší věc ze všeho," napsal, "totiž žít sám sebe, být svobodný a stále svobodnější."

Stefan Zweig's seminal memoir recalls the golden age of pre-war Europe - its seeming permanence, its promise and its devastating fall. Through the story of his life and his relationships with the leading literary figures of the day, Zweig's fervent, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the brink of extinction. This translation by the award-winning Anthea Bell captures the passionate fluency of Zweig's writing in arguably his most important work, completed the day before his suicide in 1942 - a unique elegy for a lost world of security and peace.

Románová biografie, na které Zweig pracoval více než deset posledních let svého života, měla být jeho magnum opus. Dílo nestačil podle svých představ dokončit, avšak v ucelené podobě ho vydal v roce 1946 Zweigův přítel, spisovatel Richard Friedenthal. A ukázalo se, že vskutku jde o Zweigovo stěžejní dílo, neboť jeho balzacovská monografie má sama parametry velkého románu. Zweig Balzaca portrétuje s psychologickou přesvědčivostí, často v pozoruhodných protikladech, nejednoznačně a mnohdy ne zcela lichotivě. Má pochopení zejména pro jeho tvůrčí genialitu, nezměrnou vůli a pracovitost, vidí však i řadu lidských slabostí, občas směšných či kuriózních. Prokazuje také, že je velkým znalcem Balzacova rozsáhlého literárního díla. Zweigovo vysoce působivé líčení, jeho mnohdy mistrovské formulace a pronikavé metafory činí četbu biografie mimořádným zážitkem. Je zjevné, že do své práce vložil Zweig velmi mnoho studia, energie, empatie a toho nejlepšího ze svého talentu. Kdo si tuto působivou biografii, toto hluboké umělecké dílo přečte, bude jím zasažen. Práce vychází česky po téměř pětačtyřiceti letech jako doplněk k novému výboru toho nejlepšího z Balzacovy tvorby v rámci edice Světoví klasici.

Stefan Zweig (1881 - 1942) - rakúsky spisovateľ, esejista, prekladateľ, pacifista, humanista bol vášnivý zástanca zjednotenej duchovnej Európy a spolunažívania národov i kultúr. Jeho život výrazne ovplyvnili obe svetové vojny. Proti prvej sa, napriek svojmu odporu k politike, verejne postavil. Tá druhá ho zlomila a stratiac svoje ideály si vzal život. Vo svojej tvorbe neúnavne zdôrazňoval právo človeka na uznanie jeho prirodzenosti, odmietal pokrytectvo a každý neprirodzený tlak. Silne ovplyvnený psychoanalýzou Sigmunda Freuda vykresľoval postavy zmietané vášňami a citmi, či to boli veľké osobnosti dejín alebo iba obyčajní, takmer bezvýznamní ľudia.V roku 1938 emigroval do Spojeného kráľovstva a v roku 1941 do brazílskeho Petrópolisu, kde spolu s manželkou spáchal samovraždu, keď sa k nemu dostali správy o ničení kultúrnych hodnôt nacistami.Jeho skvostný román Opojenie z premeny je príbehom dievčiny, ktorá sa z jednotvárneho života v malej obci dostáva na krátky čas do prostredia veľkomestskej spoločenskej smotánky, kde sa z tejto nenápadnej poštovej úradníčky stáva krásavica obletovaná vrstovníkmi z majetných rodín. Jej "opojenie z premeny" však netrvá dlho.Kniha je plná neuveriteľných kontrastov, pominuteľných stereotypov, vzrušujúcich nevšedností, či premien i neustáleho boja o priazeň a priateľstvo. Zároveň však dokonale vystihuje pocit vnútorného prázdna, ktorý sa po vojne usídlil v mysliach premýšľavých ľudí a zanechal v ich srdciach nezmazateľnú pachuť a trpkosť.Dielo vznikalo začiatkom v začiatkom tridsiatych rokov, no autora od práce na ňom odvádzala ekonomická a politická situácia v Európe. Napokon vyšlo až posmrtne v roku 1982.

Audiokniha: Je dvojí soucit, píše v prologu své knihy Stefan Zweig. Jeden, ten zbabělý a sentimentální, který je vlastní jen netrpělivostí srdce, aby se co nejrychleji zbavilo trapného dojetí cizím neštěstím, soucit, který vůbec není soucítěním, nýbrž jen instinktivním odvrácením cizího utrpení od vlastní duše. A ten druhý, který jediný má smysl - ten nesentimentální, avšak tvořivý soucit, který ví, co chce, a je odhodlán trpělivě a s účastenstvím vydržet až do konce svých sil a ještě za něj. Účinkují Josef Chvalina, Milan Neděla, Radovan Lukavský, Gabriela Vránová, Miriam Kantorková, Richard Záhorský, Ladislav Pešek a další. Z rozhovoru s herečkou Gabrielou Vránovou:Existuje nějaká/é inscenace (v níž jste nehrála), která vám uvízla v srdci i v mozku a stala se do jisté míry kánonem vašeho chápaní či vnímání divadla?

Audiokniha: Kniha Svědomí proti násilí rakouského prozaika Stefana Zweiga z roku 1936 se žánrově pohybuje na pomezí eseje a historického románu a je pozoruhodným exkurzem do reformačních dob, avšak zároveň jakousi univerzální obranou lidské svobody, vzájemné tolerance a snášenlivosti proti jakékoliv totalitní ideologii.Příběh začíná v Ženevě na počátku 16. století, kdy se v tomto švýcarském městě ujímá vlády Jan Kalvín. Ač mladý, vládne ocelovou rukou a nestrpí ve jménu božím jediného odpůrce - je dokonce schopen dojít až na samou mez života a odsoudit za kacířství ke smrti upálením.Jedním z těch odvážných a nepoddajných, kteří se ozývají na obranu svobody a tolerance, je francouzský učenec Sebastian Castellio.Ačkoliv si Zweig vybírá dobu tolik vzdálenou, příběh je natolik univerzální, že platí i na další diktatury, které se odehrají až o mnohá století později. Je tak téměř s podivem, že v Česku vyšel román poprvé na počátku normalizace v roce 1970.Čte: František Derfler

Zweigova kniha, žánrově na pomezí eseje, románu a historické studie, vyšla poprvé ve Vídni v roce 1936, pouhé dva roky před pohlcením autorovy vlasti hitlerovským Německem. Ačkoliv její protagonisté – Castellio, Kalvín a Servet – jsou historické osobnosti 16. století, jedná se o vášnivou a povznášející obranu nejzákladnějších hodnot evropské civilizace: svobody, tolerance, života a lidskosti proti jakékoli znásilňující, totalitní ideologii. Castelliův zápas s Kalvínem, „boj komára se slonem“, ukazuje Zweig jako zápas neohroženého svědomí a myšlení jednotlivce s násilnou teokratickou diktaturou. Jejich střetnutí vrcholí poté, co z Kalvínovy vůle dojde v Ženevě k upálení humanistického učence Miguela Serveta. Proti této justiční vraždě a na obranu dalších „kacířů“ vystoupí Sebastian Castellio a riskuje při tom vlastní život. Jako první formuluje ve své době převratnou teorii snášenlivosti a tolerance, jejíž jádro lze vystihnout slovy, že upálení kacíře není nic jiného než vražda a že „upálit člověka neznamená obhajovat učení, nýbrž zabít člověka“. Komár sice v zápase se slonem na čas podléhá, ale Castelliovy myšlenky a díla o několik desetiletí později ožívají v mnoha zemích Evropy a stávají se pevnou součástí evropského kulturního vědomí. Český překlad vyšel poprvé na počátku normalizace v roce 1970; byla v tom nejspíš nepozornost nebo přetíženost tehdejších cenzorů. Čtenářům totiž muselo být jasné, že Zweigův esej je působivou obhajobou svobody proti každé totalitní ideologii, a čerpali z něj naději podobně jako čtenáři v roce 1936. Význam Svědomí proti násilí je však aktuální trvale. Připomíná nám, že Západ nestojí na ekonomickém růstu, konzumu nebo vyprázdněných byrokratických pravidlech, ale na těžce vybojovaných a prožitých hodnotách.

An expert offers a guide to where we should use artificial intelligence—and where we should not.Before we know it, artificial intelligence (AI) will work its way into every corner of our lives, making decisions about, with, and for us. Is this a good thing? There’s a tendency to think that machines can be more “objective” than humans—can make better decisions about job applicants, for example, or risk assessments. In Awkward Intelligence, AI expert Katharina Zweig offers readers the inside story, explaining how many levers computer and data scientists must pull for AI’s supposedly objective decision making. She presents the good and the bad: AI is good at processing vast quantities of data that humans cannot—but it’s bad at making judgments about people. AI is accurate at sifting through billions of websites to offer up the best results for our search queries and it has beaten reigning champions in games of chess and Go. But, drawing on her own research, Zweig shows how inaccurate AI is, for example, at predicting whether someone with a previous conviction will become a repeat offender. It’s no better than simple guesswork, and yet it’s used to determine people’s futures. Zweig introduces readers to the basics of AI and presents a toolkit for designing AI systems. She explains algorithms, big data, and computer intelligence, and how they relate to one another. Finally, she explores the ethics of AI and how we can shape the process. With Awkward Intelligence. Zweig equips us to confront the biggest question concerning AI: where we should use it—and where we should not.
