A new paperback edition of the only biography in English of Stefan Zweig
 Drawing on a great wealth of newly available sources, this definitive biography recounts the eventful life of a great writer spoilt by success-a life lived in the shadow of two world wars, and which ended tragically in a suicide pact.
 Matuschek examines three major phases in the life of the world-famous Austrian author-his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional working writer in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the USA and Brazil.
 Including the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir, and incorporating newly discovered documents, Matuschek's biography offers us a privileged view into the private world of the master of psychological insight.

"It will definitely be regarded as the authoritative Stefan Zweig biography in the future."—Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
This is the authorized biography of the world-famous Austrian writer Stefan Zweig. It includes the sort of personal detail conspicuously absent from Zweig's memoir The World of Yesterday, offering us a glimpse into the private world of this master of psychological insight. Drawing on a wealth of sources held by the Zweig estate, to which Oliver Matuschek had unique access, he recounts the eventful life of a writer spoilt by success, which changed direction under the influence of contemporary events and ended tragically in a suicide pact with his second wife Lotte. The title Three Lives refers to the three major phases in Zweig's life—his years of apprenticeship, his years of success as a professional "working writer" in Salzburg, and finally his years of exile in Britain, the United States, and Brazil.
Oliver Matuschek studied politics and modern history, has co-authored several documentaries, and has published numerous works, most recently I Know the Magic of Writing: Catalogue and History of the Autograph Collection of Stefan Zweig (2005).

Edition A.B.Fischer

Der osterreichische Schriftsteller Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) gehort zu den meist-gelesenen und meistubersetzten deutschsprachigen Autoren. Er veroffentlichte Gedichte, Dramen, historische Essays, Biographien und zahlreiche Novellen. Doch welche Bucher in seinen eigenen Regalen standen, welche Werke ihn inspirierten und welche Quellen er fur seine literarische Arbeit nutzte, war wegen der Aufteilung, Verteilung und Auflosung seines Besitzes bisher kaum bekannt. So harrte Stefan Zweigs Bibliothek als zentrales Arbeitsinstrument ihrer Entdeckung. In den vergangenen Jahren konnten im Rahmen der Initiative Stefan Zweig digital bisher nicht zugangliche Teile seines Nachlasses in privaten und offentlichen Sammlungen ermittelt werden. In diesem Band werden die bewegte Geschichte von Stefan Zweigs Bibliotheken und die Umstande ihres heutigen Verbleibs mit zahlreichen bislang unbekannten Details und Zusammenhangen erstmals umfassend dargestellt.

Before settling on The World of Yesterday as the title for his autobiography, Stefan Zweig had considered My Three Lives.” It would have been an appropriate title, for his life was, in fact, comprised of three major stages: his early years in fin de siècle Vienna and subsequent rise up the literary ranks; the two decades of constant work, popular acclaim, and personal happiness with his first wife in Salzburg; and his self-imposed exile from Austria. In this biography, Oliver Matuschek meticulously examines the complex life of the Austrian writer, combing through previously inaccessible or unknown letters and documents to trace Zweig’s journey from celebrated author to desperate man and suicidal man who would ultimately take his life in a small Brazilian town. Antes de escoger El mundo de ayer como el título de su autobiografía, Stefan Zweig había considerado usar Mis tres vidas”. Hubiese sido un título apropiado ya que, en efecto, su vida constaba de tres grandes etapas: sus años de aprendizaje en Viena finisecular y los posteriores de ascenso en el escalafón literario; los dos decenios de trabajo constante, éxito popular y brillo mundano que vivió con su primera esposa en Salzburgo; y su exilio de Austria. En esta biografía, Oliver Matuschek meticulosamente investiga la compleja vida del escritor austríaco, basándose en cartas y documentos hasta ahora inaccesibles o desconocidos para trazar el viaje de Zweig desde autor célebre hasta un hombre desesperado y suicida que terminaría tomándose la vida en un pequeño pueblo brasileño.
