Underappreciated: Stefan Zweig
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In 1930, Stefan Zweig was considered the world's most translated author, with a circle of friends that included Rainer Maria Rilke, Auguste Rodin, and Sigmund Freud. Yet when he was forced into exile from his native Austria during World War II, Zweig's work faded from view, even more so after his suicide in 1942. George Prochnik, who is working on a book about Stefan and Lotte Zweig, will tell us why the author deserves a revival.
Purchase Zweig's major works - Amok, Beware of Pity, Chess Story, and The World of Yesterday - at amazon.com.
