Through the Heart of the Habsburg World
Stefan Zweig · 1942
Written in exile as the old Europe collapsed around him, Zweig's memoir mourns the cosmopolitan Habsburg world of Vienna, Prague, and Paris—a civilization of coffeehouses, cultural exchange, and Jewish intellectual life that fascism would destroy. One of the great elegies to a lost Europe.
