Hi there. Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.
This is a literary journey without borders. Each episode I explore a work, an author or a literary movement from different corners of the planet. Because books are also passports, and each story brings us closer to different cultures, languages and realities.
Today I bring you the story of Stefan Zweig, who was an Austrian writer, biographer and social activist, later naturalized British, in the first half of the 20th century.
His activism led, since the 1920s, to Zweig to position himself vehemently against the nationalist doctrines and the revanchist spirit of the time. He wrote about all this in a long series of novels and dramas, in what was the most productive period of his life.
Desperate for the future of Europe and its culture, since they truly believed that Nazism would spread to the entire planet, on February 22, 1942, with still 3 years left until the end of the war, he and his wife committed suicide.
And with that I conclude today's episode, see you in the next one!
If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, you can write me a comment.
