About this title

Synopsis

Derni�re oeuvre de Stefan Zweig, non publi�e de son vivant, ce v�ritable testament romanesque nous transporte dans l'Autriche de l'entre-deux-guerres, d�j� convoit�e comme une proie par l'Allemagne nazie.
Christine, modeste employ�e des Postes, a vu mourir son p�re et son fr�re. L'invitation impromptue d'une tante d'Am�rique, riche et fastueuse, ach�ve de la r�volter contre la m�diocrit� de sa vie, sentiment qu'elle partage bient�t avec Ferdinand, ancien combattant, mutil�, devenu ch�meur.
Mais l'argent et la puissance m�nent le monde, non pas l'amour. Devant le lent naufrage de l'Europe dans la barbarie, le couple s'enfonce dans une d�sesp�rance qui semble annoncer le suicide, en 1942, du grand �crivain autrichien, auteur d'Amok et de La Confusion des sentiments.

About the Author

N� � Vienne en 1881, fils d’un industriel, Stefan Zweig a pu �tudier en toute libert� l’histoire, les belles-lettres et la philosophie. Grand humaniste, ami de Romain Rolland, d’�mile Verhaeren et de Sigmund Freud, il a exerc� son talent dans tous les genres (traductions, po�mes, romans, pi�ces de th��tre) mais a surtout excell� dans l’art de la nouvelle (La Confusion des sentiments, Vingt-quatre heures de la vie d’une femme), l’essai et la biographie (Marie-Antoinette, Fouch�, Magellan…). D�sesp�r� par la mont�e du nazisme, il fuit l’Autriche en 1934, se r�fugie en Angleterre puis aux �tats-Unis. En 1942, il se suicide avec sa femme � Petr�polis, au Br�sil.
