Publisher Description

"The World of Yesterday" is an autobiographical work by Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. Published in 1942, the book describes the author's personal experiences of the intellectual and cultural life of Europe before and during World War I. Zweig portrays the society of the time as a golden age of peaceful coexistence and intellectual and artistic flourishing, which was abruptly shattered by the rise of nationalism, fascism, and war. The book is a poignant meditation on the loss of a world and a way of life, and a warning against the dangers of fanaticism and totalitarianism. The writing is lyrical and evocative, drawing the reader into a vivid and nostalgic portrait of a bygone era.
