'Thoughtful, highly observant, and humane' GuardianTwo thousand years of human struggleFive tales of family breakdown, political struggle, and monomaniacal obsession from one of the defining voices of the European Jewish diaspora. Moving back through time from the First World War to Ancient Rome, these stories play on the tension between religion, society and individual with masterful irony. We encounter heroes and bookworms, visionaries and gadabouts, patriarchs and rebels - united across the centuries by faith, and by the intensity with which they live and die, their individual passions blazing out against the forces of history.Includes:'Buchmendel''Downfall of the Heart''The Miracles of Life''In the Snow''The Buried Candelabrum'Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe.Translated by Anthea Bell and Eden and Cedar Paul.Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family.

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.

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.

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. Many of those mourned or celebrated here cast a long spiritual shadow over Zweig's own writing life: Verhaeren, Rolland, Nietzsche, Roth, Mahler, Rilke and Freud.Zweig's farewells, souvenirs and declarations of gratitude demonstrate his ardent pan-Europeanism and rich friendships across borders.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

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.

Within each of us is a spiritual longing that prompts us to unite with something greater than ourselves, to awaken to our unity with all of life. Yet, no matter the spiritual path we choose, we inevitably encounter our own shadow, those unconscious aspects of ourselves that we suppress or deny, or the shadows of our teachers and their secret desires about money, sex, and power. Meeting the shadow can derail the journey but, according to Connie Zweig, Ph.D., we can recover from loss of faith and move from spiritual naiveté to spiritual maturity. Zweig examines the yearning that sets us on the path, showing how it can lead to ecstatic, transcendent experiences or to terrible suffering by projecting it onto an authoritarian teacher, priest, or guru who abuses power. She tells the stories of renowned teachers--Sufi poet Rumi, Hindu master Ramakrishna, and Christian saint Catherine of Siena--whose lives unfolded as they followed their spiritual yearning. And she tells the cautionary tales of contemporary teachers of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Catholicism, who acted out their shadows in devastating ways, leaving their followers traumatized and lost.
