**Winner of the National Jewish Book Award for Biography**Now in paperback, the biography of Austrian writer Stefan Zweig, the inspiration behind The Grand Budapest Hotel, Wes Andersons awardwinning filmBy the 1930s, Stefan Zweig had become the most widely translated living author in the world. His novels, short stories, and biographies were so compelling that they became instant best sellers. Zweig was also an intellectual and a lover of all the arts, high and low. Yet after Hitlers rise to power, this celebrated writer who had dedicated so much energy to promoting international humanism plummeted, in a matter of a few years, into an increasingly isolated exilefrom London to Bath to New York City, then Ossining, Rio, and finally Petrpoliswhere, in 1942, in a cramped bungalow, he killed himself.The Impossible Exile tells the tragic story of Zweigs extraordinary rise and fall while it also depicts, with great acumen, the gulf between the world of ideas in Europe and in America, and the consuming struggle of those forced to forsake one for the other. It also reveals how Zweig embodied, through his work, thoughts, and behavior, the end of an erathe implosion of Europe as an ideal of Western civilization.
