His numerous works, written in Latin, sleep undisturbed upon the shelves of libraries; hardly a single one of them, though in their day they enjoyed worldwide fame, has any message to our epoch." - from page 3.Synopsis: The greatest and most brilliant star of his century… His numerous works, written in Latin, sleep undisturbed upon the shelves of libraries; hardly a single one of them, though in their day they enjoyed worldwide fame, has any message to our epoch." – from page 3. The success of Marie Antoinette the brilliant genius of the biographer himself, entitle this book to a place on the Must list. But the subject matter of necessity limits his scope, for source material is inadequate, and Erasmus is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. This is a ruthless, clinical study of a man who, almost forgotten today, was in his time courted by kings, princes and popes. Idealist, humanist, supernationalist, scholar, individualist to the point of weakness, a coward in his avoidance of the position of leadership in a world demanding a leader, but giving the necessary push to the Reformation, with rapier-like thrust. The book is a character analysis rather than a biography. The early part seems at times padded. But with the stirring narrative of the fight between Luther and Erasmus the story gathers speed, ending with Erasmus' death in Basle. A merciless and brilliant book; Zweig gives his subject full mood of praise and unsparing criticism. Insurance & handling is included free.

He had no idea the girl was lame when he asked her to dance-his compensatory afternoon calls relieve his guilt but give her a dangerous glimmer of hope. Stefan Zweig's only novel is a devastatingly unindulgent portrayal of the torment of the betrayal of both honor and love, realized against the background of the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian empire. *** Quantity Available: 1.
