He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including \u003ci\u003eLetter from an Unknown Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAmok\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFear.\u003c\/i\u003e In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York--a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, \u003ci\u003eBeware of Pity\u003c\/i\u003e, and his memoir, \u003ci\u003eThe World of Yesterday\u003c\/i\u003e. He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pushkin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42696002830573,"sku":"9781782277071","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ee8b1ade-3e7d-4358-a02f-0f3f486f9c22.jpg?v=1649874915","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/the-collected-novellas-of-stefan-zweig-9781782277071","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
