About The World of Yesterday
The World of Yesterday is Stefan Zweig’s final work, and was completed shortly before his suicide in 1942. This autobiographical novel depicts a period of momentous historical change, as the Europe of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which was characterised by cosmopolitanism, optimism and an unwavering faith in humanity and progress, gave way to a ferment of nationalism, destruction and brutality. Zweig’s own life was irrevocably shaped by these events, and his novel constitutes a poignant elegy for a lost golden age in his native Vienna and, more broadly, in Europe as a whole.
