Stefan Zweig
Died in 1942
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna into a wealthy Jewish family and very early became a European man of letters: poet, translator, friend of Romain Rolland, whose pacifism he shared. Settled in Salzburg after the First World War, he enjoyed considerable success with his short narratives and his biographies. He went into exile in England in 1934, then reached the United States and Brazil, and took his own life in Petrópolis with his second wife, Lotte, in February 1942, in despair at the future of Europe.
