Author

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born to a wealthy Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. During World War I, he wrote about the catastrophe that contributed to the war against Jeremias. This 1917 occupation was a wrongful claim to a mad war. A prolific writer, Zweig wrote descriptions and plays, but it was his birth of historical and cultural history that made him one of the best-known writers of wartime. His fame rested in a series of brief intellectual articles and novels. Zweig was a man who had no basis for the literary criticism that showed his sensitivity to human struggle. The Nazis burned all his activities including Jeremias, in response to accusations of war. After the Austrian police raid on his house in 1934 and the forced closure of a Richard Strauss opera he had written for his libretto, Zweig moved to England. There, he continued to write about Nazi rule. He eventually settled in Brazil. Desperate for the fate of Europe, Zweig committed suicide with his wife Elisabeth in 1942.
