Penguin Die Welt von gestern

The memories of the great author of "Chess Story" and "Moment of Humanity." "Today, as the great storm has long shattered it, we know for certain that that world of security was a castle in the air." The bourgeois world in Habsburg Austria, before it was destroyed in two world wars, is Stefan Zweig's "World of Yesterday." Under the impression of ever-new reports of horror from the Second World War, he wrote his great memoir in exile. Old Vienna, the life of his generation, his own biography: this irretrievably lost world is preserved in this moving classic. "A household book for all later generations, still strikingly relevant, and in some ways already disturbing" - Süddeutsche Zeitung. Profound memories of old Europe. An era of freedom, security, and art, just before its downfall. Now in the world's most famous classic series.
