This title presents the previously unpublished letters of a major
twentieth-century writer and his wife. Born in Vienna in 1881,
Stefan Zweig was one of the most respected authors of his time.
Foreseeing Nazi Germany's domination of Europe, Zweig left Austria
in 1933. In 1941, following a successful lecture tour of South
America and several months in New York, Stefan Zweig and his wife
Lotte emigrated to Brazil. Despairing at Europe's future and
feeling increasingly isolated, the Zweigs committed suicide
together in 1942. Stefan Zweig was an incessant correspondent but
as the 1930s progressed, it became difficult for him to maintain
contact with friends and colleagues. As Zweig's correspondence all
but ceased with the outbreak of World War II, little is known about
his final years. Even less is known about Lotte Zweig, his
second-wife, secretary and travel-companion. This book provides an
analysis of the Zweigs' time together and for the first time
reproduces personal letters, written by the couple in Argentina and
Brazil, along with editorial commentary. Furthermore, Lotte finally
emerges from her husband's shadows, with the letters offering
significant insights into their relationship and her experience of
exile.
