About this ebook
Drei Meister: Balzac, Dickens, Dostojewski Stefan Zweig - Nenne ich Balzac, Dickens und Dostojewski hier die einzigen großen Romanschriftsteller des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts, so verkenne ich in dieser Voranstellung keineswegs die Größe einzelner Werke Goethes, Gottfried Kellers, Stendhals, Flauberts, Tolstois, Victor Hugos und anderer, von denen mancher einzelne Roman oftmals das abgesonderte Werk insbesondere Balzacs und Dickens' weitaus übertrifft. Und ich glaube, meinen innerlichen und unerschütterlichen Unterschied zwischen dem Verfasser eines Romanes und dem Romancier darum ausdrücklich feststellen zu müssen.

About the author
Stefan Zweig was one of the world's most famous writers during the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the U.S., South America, and Europe. He produced novels, plays, biographies, and journalist pieces. Among his most famous works are Beware of Pity, Letter from an Unknown Woman, and Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles. He and his second wife committed suicide in 1942.Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide.Zweig's interest in psychology and the teachings of Sigmund Freud led to his most characteristic work, the subtle portrayal of character. Zweig's essays include studies of Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens, and Fyodor Dostoyevsky (Drei Meister, 1920; Three Masters) and of Friedrich Hölderlin, Heinrich von Kleist, and Friedrich Nietzsche (Der Kampf mit dem Dämon, 1925; Master Builders). He achieved popularity with Sternstunden der Menschheit (1928; The Tide of Fortune), five historical portraits in miniature. He wrote full-scale, intuitive rather than objective, biographies of the French statesman Joseph Fouché (1929), Mary Stuart (1935), and others. His stories include those in Verwirrung der Gefühle (1925; Conflicts). He also wrote a psychological novel, Ungeduld des Herzens (1938; Beware of Pity), and translated works of Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, and Emile Verhaeren.
