Messages from a Lost World
Europe on the Brink
Sinopsis
As Europe faced its darkest days, Stefan Zweig was a passionate voice for tolerance, peace and a world without borders. In these moving, ardent essays, speeches and articles, composed before and during the Second World War, one of the twentieth centurys greatest writers mounts a defence of European unity against terror and brutality.
These haunting lost messages, all appearing in English for the first time and some newly discovered, distil Zweigs courage, belief and richness of learning to give the essence of a writer; a spiritual will and testament to stand alongside his memoir, The World of Yesterday. Brief and yet intense, they are a tragic reminder of a world lost to the bloody vortex of history, but also a powerful statement of one mans belief in the creative imagination and the potential of humanity, with a resounding relevance today.
Translated by Will Stone, with an introduction by philosopher and historian of ideas John Gray.
