Summary : Stefan Zweig (1881–1942) hat als Verfasser erotischer Novellen und feiner Seismograph der "Verwirrung der Gefühle" Weltruhm erlangt. Als repräsentativer Vertreter des kosmopolitischen Wiener Judentums verstand er die Einheit Europas als seine Mission. Im Exil trauerte er seiner "Welt von Gestern" nach. Dieses Handbuch bringt die Forschung auf den neuesten Stand und präsentiert erstmals Leben, Werk und Wirkung Zweigs in einer kulturgeschichtlichen Einheit. Die historischen, philosophischen und ästhetischen Koordinaten seines Œuvre bilden den Rahmen für detaillierte Werkanalysen. Auch die Biographie wird um neue Fakten bereichert und durch die Darstellung des Freundeskreises ergänzt. Besondere Beachtung finden unbekannte Aspekte des Werks (z.B. Dramen, Gedichte) sowie Zweigs Tätigkeit als Übersetzer, Herausgeber und Sammler von Autographen. Die Darstellung der außergewöhnlichen Wirkungsgeschichte seines Werkes – Stefan Zweig war Anfang der dreißiger Jahre der meistübersetzte deutschsprachige Autor – bildet einen Schwerpunkt dieses Handbuchs. Ein Verzeichnis über die Forschungsliteratur, Register und eine Zeittafel runden den Band ab.

Summary : A casual introduction, a challenge to a simple game of chess, a lovers' reunion, a meaningless infidelity: from such small seeds Zweig brings forth five startlingly tense tales-meditations on the fragility of love, the limits of obsession, the combustibility of secrets and betrayal. To read anything by Zweig is to risk addiction; in this collection the power of his writing-which, with its unabashed intensity and narrative drive, made him one of the bestselling and most acclaimed authors in the world-is clear and irresistible. Each of these stories is a bolt of experience, unforgettable and unique. 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.

Summary : Sound film captivated Sergey Prokofiev during the final two decades of his life: he considered composing for nearly two dozen pictures, eventually undertaking eight of them, all Soviet productions. Hollywood luminaries such as Gloria Swanson tempted him with commissions, and arguably more people heard his film music than his efforts in all other genres combined. Films for which Prokofiev composed, in particular those of Sergey Eisenstein, are now classics of world cinema. Drawing on newly available sources, Composing for the Red Screen examines - for the first time - the full extent of this prodigious cinematic career. Author Kevin Bartig examines how Prokofiev's film music derived from a self-imposed challenge: to compose "serious" music for a broad audience. The picture that emerges is of a composer seeking an individual film-music voice, shunning Hollywood models and objecting to his Soviet colleagues' ideologically expedient film songs. Looking at Prokofiev's film music as a whole - with well-known blockbusters like Alexander Nevsky considered alongside more obscure or aborted projects - reveals that there were multiple solutions to the challenge, each with varying degrees of success. Prokofiev carefully balanced his own populist agenda, the perceived aesthetic demands of the films themselves, and, later on, Soviet bureaucratic demands for accessibility.
