'The European voice... sparkling with poetic brilliance' - TLS'Zweig's accumulated historical and cultural studies [are] almost too impressive to take in' - Clive JamesStefan Zweig was a born eulogist. In this collection of powerful elegies, homages and personal memories, Zweig forms a richly interconnected portrait of key creative figures in the European cultural diaspora up to 1939.

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.

“The most influential biography of Marie Antoinette.” —Guardian “Bids fair to be the definitive life of that tragic queen.” —New York Times International Bestseller: One of the great writers of the 20th century paints a vivid portrait of one of the most famous, complex, and controversial characters in European history.  Stefan Zweig based his biography of Marie Antoinette, who became the Queen of France at the age of fifteen, on the correspondence between her and her mother, and her great love the Count Axel von Fersen. Zweig analyzes the chemistry of a woman’s soul from her intimate pleasures to her public suffering as a Queen under the weight of misfortune and history. Zweig describes Marie Antoinette in the King’s bedroom, in the enchanted and extravagant world of the Trianon, and with her children. And in his account of The Revolution, he describes her resolve during the failed escape to Varennes, her imprisonment in the Conciergerie and her final tragic destiny under the guillotine.  Stefan Zweig’s account has been the definitive biography of Marie Antoinette since its publication, inspiring Antonia Fraser and the recent film adaptation.

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 ...

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.

A collection of the great writer''s observations, made during his travels across the Europe he loved so muchWhen I am on a journey, all ties suddenly fall away. I feel myself quite unburdened, disconnected, free - There is something in it marvellously uplifting and invigorating. Whole past epochs suddenly return: nothing is lost, everything still full of inception, enticement.For the insatiably curious and ardent Europhile Stefan Zweig, travel was both a necessary cultural education and a personal balm for the depression he experienced when rooted in one place for too long. He spent much of his life weaving between the countries of Europe, visiting authors and friends, exploring the continent in the heyday of international rail travel.Comprising a lifetime''s observations on Zweig''s travels in Europe, this collection can be dipped into or savoured at length, and paints a rich and sensitive picture of Europe before the Second World War.

When it is discovered that the reigning world chess champion, Mirko Czentovic, is on board a cruiser heading for Buenos Aires, a fellow passenger challenges him to a game.

When, the next day, Dr B. confides in a compatriot travelling on the same ship and decides to reveal the harrowing secret behind his formidable chess knowledge, a chilling tale of imprisonment and psychological torment unfolds.Stefan Zweig’s last and most famous story, ‘A Game of Chess’ was written in exile in Brazil and explores its author’s anxieties about the situation in Europe following the rise of the Nazi regime. The tale is presented here in a brand-new translation, along with three of the master storyteller’s most acclaimed novellas: Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman, The Invisible Collection and Incident on Lake Geneva.

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.

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.

Rooted in the Pleiadian teachings of Light as “Information,” “Truth,” and “Love,” Jessica’s philosophy teaches readers to name, claim, and reframe their inner darkness in order to unlock their infinite potential and remember who they truly are.Jessica Zweig is the founder of a multimillion-dollar business, a bestselling author, and a social media phenomenon—but her path was not an easy one. The Light Work distills the highly-evolved spiritual concepts she learned along the way into practical applications, delivered with Jessica’s signature straight-talk. How-to’s, exercises, and journal prompts interweave with Jessica’s powerful personal story to create a guidebook to a more inclusive, loving, and Light-filled life.Within these pages lies radical self-empowerment, because—as Jessica says—when you can claim all parts of yourself (your dark and your light, your power and your shame, your sh*t and your shine), you become… unstoppable. You become the Lightworker.

The study and teaching of English literature is generally regarded as one of the central disciplines in the modern university, yet for much of its history it struggled to gain academic legitimacy and was frequently derided as ''a soft option''. Its early professors responded by emphasizing its scholarly character, foregrounding philology and literary history in ways that marked the syllabus far into the twentieth century. Stefan Collini provides here the first full account of the discipline''s development from its late-eighteenth-century beginnings up to the early 1960s. Paying special attention to institutional settings, he challenges numerous assumptions about the character of universities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. From the detailed exploration of syllabuses, exam papers, and other institutional records, the impact of literary criticism is revealed to be later and more partial than is commonly assumed. Rather than seeing the early teaching of English literature as ''a substitute for religion'' or ''a means to soften class conflict'', Collini emphasizes the role of ideals of learnedness and scholarship, as well as of external factors such as opportunities for employment in the civil service and secondary school-teaching. There are full discussions of the parts played by such figures as John Churton ... Unknown localization key: "more"

A highly readable narrative of the causes, course, and consequences of the Spanish Conquest, incorporating the perspectives of many Native groups, Black slaves, and the conquistadors, timed with the 500th anniversary of the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan.Five hundred years ago, a flotilla landed on the coast of Yucatán under the command of the Spanish conquistador Hérnan Cortés. While the official goal of the expedition was to explore and to expand the Christian faith, everyone involved knew that it was primarily about gold and the hunt for slaves.That a few hundred Spaniards destroyed the Aztec empire--a highly developed culture--is an old chestnut, because the conquistadors, who had every means to make a profit, did not succeed alone. They encountered groups such as the Tlaxcaltecs, who suffered from the Aztec rule and were ready to enter into alliances with the foreigners to overthrow their old enemy. In addition, the conquerors benefited from the diseases brought from Europe, which killed hundreds of thousands of locals. Drawing on both Spanish and indigenous sources, this account of the conquest of Mexico from 1519 to 1521 not only offers a dramatic narrative of these events--including the fall of the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan ...

Jack Sutherland, the narrator and protagonist of this memoir has, you might say, led a charmed life in the face of seeming damnation. A confirmed alcoholic in his early teens, by his twenties he was PA and bodyguard to the Hollywood stars most notably Michael Stipe, Ru Paul and Mickey Rourke. His work took him to exotic destinations around the world and bizarre encounters and requests. It also led him back to a smorgasbord of lethal addictions: alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy and perhaps most damaging of all crystal meth and the crazed chem sex that characterises its use. On the shores of death's coastline, a nine stone skeleton in a frame that once boasted the shape and tone of a bodybuilder, Jack is saved. By his father, one of the literary world's most esteemed personalities: John Sutherland.A son's memoir told through the prism and prose of a father will surely take its place among the classics of contemporary addiction and recovery stories like A Portrait of an Addict as a Young Man and Another Bullshit Night in Suck City. Stars, Cars & Crystal Meth lifts the lid on the shadow world of the Hollywood PA with grim but ultimately inspiring honesty.

“Wonderful . . . and full of life. This is a book for discovery, for pleasure and delight.” – George Szirtes, author of The Photographer at SixteenA revelatory volume of 2 of the 20th century’s great poetic innovators, Guillaume Apollinaire and Velimir Khlebnikov, in vibrant new translations by Robert ChandlerOffering a fresh angle on two of the most innovative poets of the 20th century, and grouping poems by theme, celebrated translator and poet Robert Chandler finds surprising connections between Apollinaire and Khlebnikov, from their interest in animal poems and bestiaries to their distinctive approaches to war poetry.Although Apollinaire and Khlebnikov never met, their restless innovations in poetic form shared much in common. Both pushed poetry to its limit, and their experiments proved fertile for generations of poets to come. Khlebnikov became associated with Futurism, though his inventiveness with language moved him far beyond it, while Apollinaire influenced a dizzying array of avant-garde movements, including Surrealism, Dadaism and Cubism.Chandler offers a stimulating selection from both poets’ work in beautifully vivid new translations. Showcasing these poets’ exhilarating capacity for innovation as well as their more direct, heartfelt verse, this work offers a surprising journey into the world of two great Modernist poets.Part ...
