The World of Yesterday
By the author who inspired Wes Anderson's film, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna--its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.
Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws a vivid and intimate account of his life and travels through Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching on the very heart of European culture. His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction.
This new translation by award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig's writing in arguably his most revealing work.

Don't know how I managed not to read it before now, but if you want an absorbing description of how someone experiences and processes radical political change, you won't find anything better than Stefan Zweig's The World of Yesterday, written in 1941.

I say this very advisedly: the FedSoc-generated freakout at Stanford Law is redolent of the Nazi provocations Stefan Zweig writes about in The World of Yesterday, and they had exactly the same resounding success.
Praise for this book
