Stefan Zweig, Sternstunden der Menschheit. Schmuckausgabe mit Kupferprägung

Stefan Zweig gathers in these magnificent miniatures 12 fateful moments of history: from the Battle of Waterloo to the creation of Goethe's famous Marienbad Elegy, and the tragic South Pole expedition of Sir Robert Falcon Scott. Human greatness and weakness, fate and character are crucial factors in our lives, as Stefan Zweig shows us. Often, it is the brief, chance-determined, and highly dramatic moments that shape the future – these are the "Star Moments of Humanity." Zweig's narratives span 2000 years and 14 multifaceted personalities from world history: from Caesar to Leo Tolstoy to Lenin. "What I admired most about him was the ability to make historical epochs and figures psychologically and artistically alive." - Thomas Mann on Stefan Zweig. Features: Surbalin Linea with decorative embossing.
