Stefan Zweig was a prolific Austrian writer known for his novellas, biographies, and the memoir The World of Yesterday. His works were banned and burned by the Nazi regime due to his Jewish heritage and pacifist outlook. Zweig went into exile, eventually settling in Brazil, where he and his wife took their own lives in 1942 in despair at the destruction of European civilization. His writing remains a key document of the intellectual climate of pre-war Europe.
