About the Author:
Stefan Zweig was born in Vienna in 1881 to an Austrian Jewish family. His tumultuous world encompassed the intellectual heights of turn-of-the-century Vienna, the bleakness of World War I, and the horrors of the Holocaust, which forced him into exile. He took his own life in 1942.
