Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Stefan Zweig, whose death in 1942 by his own hand was one of the tragedies of the Hitler years, was Viennese by birth. He lived in Salzburg for nearly twenty years after the First World War. In 1934 he went to London, then to the United States, and last to Brazil. He was a poet, a novelist, and a dramatist, but it was as a biographer that his full genius expressed itself. Besides Marie Antionette, he has written biographies of Queen Mary of Scotland, Magellan, and Erasmus, and many short portraits.
