Mit dem Autorenporträt aus dem Metzler Lexikon Weltliteratur.
Mit Daten zu Leben und Werk, exklusiv verfasst von der Redaktion der Zeitschrift für Literatur TEXT + KRITIK.
Gerade noch einflussreichste Mätresse am Hofe von Louis XV., muss die scharfsinnige, intrigante und schöne Mme de Prie sich nun aufs Land zurückziehen, wo ihre manipulativen Spiele ins Leere laufen und ihr Gesellschaftshunger keine Nahrung erhält. Mit allen Mitteln kämpft sie um einen Platz in der kurzen Aufmerksamkeitsspanne der übersättigten Pariser High Society. Doch der Preis ist schier unbezahlbar … Stefan Zweig beschreibt mit psychologischem Feinsinn und großer sprachlicher Suggestivkraft, wie unmenschliche Erfahrungen, innere Zwänge und misslingende Kommunikation den Menschen zum Äußersten treiben können.

About the author
Stefan Zweig
2,575 books11.3k followersStefan Zweig was one of the world's most famous writers during the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the U.S., South America, and Europe. He produced novels, plays, biographies, and journalist pieces. Among his most famous works are Beware of Pity, Letter from an Unknown Woman, and Mary, Queen of Scotland and the Isles. He and his second wife committed suicide in 1942.
Zweig studied in Austria, France, and Germany before settling in Salzburg in 1913. In 1934, driven into exile by the Nazis, he emigrated to England and then, in 1940, to Brazil by way of New York. Finding only growing loneliness and disillusionment in their new surroundings, he and his second wife committed suicide.
Zweig's interest in psychology and the teachings of Sigmund Freud led to his most characteristic work, the subtle portrayal of character. Zweig's essays include studies of Honoré de Balzac, Charles Dickens, and Fyodor Dostoevsky (Drei Meister, 1920; Three Masters) and of Friedrich Hölderlin, Heinrich von Kleist, and Friedrich Nietzsche (Der Kampf mit dem Dämon, 1925; Master Builders). He achieved popularity with Sternstunden der Menschheit (1928; The Tide of Fortune), five historical portraits in miniature. He wrote full-scale, intuitive rather than objective, biographies of the French statesman Joseph Fouché (1929), Mary Stuart (1935), and others. His stories include those in Verwirrung der Gefühle (1925; Conflicts). He also wrote a psychological novel, Ungeduld des Herzens (1938; Beware of Pity), and translated works of Charles Baudelaire, Paul Verlaine, and Emile Verhaeren.
Most recently, his works provided the inspiration for 2014 film The Grand Budapest Hotel.

مادام دو پری، معشوقهی معروف لوئی پانزدهم که در اواخر عمرش بخاطر دستکاری های زیادش در دربار فرانسه و سو استفاده از قدرتش به حومهی شهر پاریس تبعید میشود.
نا امیدی و از دست دادن قدرتی که سعی میکند خود را در آینهی جاودانگی و مرگ نمایان کند.
And nothing was left of the strange end of Madame de Prie, her real life and the ingeniously devised deception of her death but a few dry lines in some book of memoirs or other, conveying to their reader as little of the passionate emotions of her life as a pressed flower allows one to guess at the fragrant marvel of its long-forgotten spring.
