Produktbeschreibung

A biography of France's youngest queen that promises to 'analyse the chemistry of a woman's soul from her intimate pleasures to he public suffering under the weight of misfortune...and her tragic destiny under the guillotine.' Zweig based this biography on the correspondence the queen held with her mother and with her great love, the Count Axel De Fersen.

Autorenporträt

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. 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 Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. 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, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. 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.
