Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

To read anything by Zweig is to risk addiction; in this collection the power of his writing--which, with its unabashed intensity and narrative drive, made him one of the bestselling and most acclaimed authors in the world--is clear and irresistible.

Download or read book Stefan Zweig Reconsidered written by Mark H. Gelber and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is comprised of 14 contributions, which are revised and expanded versions of lectures held at an international conference on Stefan Zweig that took place in Israel in 2004. The essays focus on Zweig's biographical writings (for example Erasmus and Fouché), as well as on several aspects of his literary works that have been neglected since the revival of academic studies of his writings and career commenced some 25 years ago. These include: Zweig's conception of the daemonic, Zweig and Christianity, the discourse of love in his writings, Zweig as an Austrian eulogist, his understanding of theater, etc. Contributors from Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Slovenia, and Israel bring refreshingly diverse perspectives and new concerns to this scholarly project. With contributions from Vera Apfelthaler, Matjaz Birk, Denis Charbit, Sarah Fraiman-Morris, Mark H. Gelber, Jacob Golomb, Bernhard Greiner, Gert Kerschbaumer, Hanni Mittelmann, Klaus Mueller, Michel Reffet, Ingrid Spoerk, Robert Wistrich.

Book Synopsis China’s Stefan Zweig by : Arnhilt Johanna Hoefle
Download or read book China’s Stefan Zweig written by Arnhilt Johanna Hoefle and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his lifetime Austrian novelist Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) was among the most widely read German-language writers in the world. Always controversial, he fell into critical disfavor as writers and critics in a devastated postwar Europe attacked the poor literary quality of his works and excoriated his apolitical fiction as naïve Habsburg nostalgia. Yet in other parts of the world, Zweig’s works have enjoyed continued admiration and popularity, even canonical status. China’s Stefan Zweig unveils the extraordinary success of Zweig’s novellas in China, where he has been read in an entirely different way. During the New Culture Movement of the 1920s, Zweig’s novellas were discovered by intellectuals turning against Confucian tradition. In the 1930s, left-wing scholars criticized Zweig as a decadent bourgeois writer, yet after the communist victory in 1949 he was re-introduced as a political writer whose detailed psychological descriptions exposed a brutal and hypocritical bourgeois capitalist society. In the 1980s, after the Cultural Revolution, Zweig’s works triggered a large-scale “Stefan Zweig fever,” where Zweig-style female figures, the gentle, loving, and self-sacrificing women who populate his novels, became the feminine ideal. Zweig’s seemingly anachronistic poetics of femininity allowed feminists to criticize Maoist gender politics by praising Zweig as “the anatomist of the female heart.” As Arnhilt Hoefle makes clear, Zweig’s works have never been passively received. Intermediaries have actively selected, interpreted, and translated his works for very different purposes. China’s Stefan Zweig not only re-conceptualizes our understanding of cross-cultural reception and its underlying dynamics, but proposes a serious re-evaluation of one of the most successful yet misunderstood European writers of the twentieth century. Zweig’s works, which have inspired recent film adaptations such as Xu Jinglei’s Letter from an Unknown Woman (2005) and Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), are only beginning to be rediscovered in Europe and North America, but the heated debate about his literary merit continues. This book, with its wealth of hitherto unexplored Chinese-language sources, sheds light on the Stefan Zweig conundrum through the lens of his Chinese reception to reveal surprising, and long overlooked, literary dimensions of his works.

Download or read book Stefan Zweig: ›Angst!‹ und weitere Novellen written by Stefan Zweig and published by eClassica. This book was released on 2020-09-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stefan Zweig: ›Angst!‹ und weitere Novellen | Neu editierte 2020er-Ausgabe, in aktualisierter Rechtschreibung und mit zahlreichen erklärenden Fußnoten Irene, einer saturierten jungen Frau in gutbürgerlicher Ehe mit einem Juristen, fehlt Erfüllung. Vielleicht ist es ein Element der Spannung, das sie in ihrem rundum versorgten Leben vermisst. Wie ungewollt gleitet sie in eine sexuelle Affäre mit einem Pianisten, der ihr das Vermisste zu geben scheint. Gleichzeitig hat sie schreckliche Angst, dass die außereheliche Liebesaffäre ihre bürgerliche Existenz implodieren lässt, sollte ihr Mann davon erfahren. – Tatsächlich bahnt sich Schlimmes an, als eine Frau beginnt, sie zu erpressen. In meisterlicher psychologischer Introspektion geht Stefan Zweig den Seelenqualen der Protagonistin auf den Grund und macht die kleine Geschichte zu einem Psychothriller à la Hitchcock. Nicht von ungefähr wurde die Novelle mehrfach in hochkarätiger Besetzung verfilmt. – Der dreihundertseitige Sammelband enthält acht weitere, nicht minder mitreißende Novellen des Autors.

Book Synopsis Mental Processes and Narrative Possiblities in the German Novelle, 1890-1940 by : David Turner
Download or read book Mental Processes and Narrative Possiblities in the German Novelle, 1890-1940 written by David Turner and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it concentrates on a particular historical period, and although it examines a variety of individual works, many of them acknowledged Novellen, this study is neither an historical survey nor a collection of interpretations. Its distinctive approach is taxonomical and comparative. Taking as its starting point the surge of interest in the human mind as the nineteenth century drew to a close, it examines the kinds of (shorter) narrative that were generated by that interest. On the other hand therefore it investigates how, by focusing on particular aspects of the mind, writers were led to adopt certain narrative patterns or structures; and on the other hand, building on the work of Dorrit Cohn, but extending her range considerably, it explores and evaluates the different modes of presentation which writers exploited as they sought to give life to the inner workings of their characters. According to some, psychology and the Novelle are incompatible.Although the investigation concludes that there is no inherent incompatibility between psychological interest and the aims of the Novelle, it also demonstrates that psychological interest in shorter narratives does not always lead to Novellen; it explores other narrative structures that may arise when particular models of the mind form their basis.
