La vie de Balzac est un prodigieux roman. Accable de dettes, immerge dans un titanesque labeur d'ecriture, mort a cinquante et un ans, juste apres son mariage avec celle qu'il avait si longtemps attendue, le romancier de La Comedie humaine incarne un mythe, celui du createur rivalisant avec Dieu, et foudroye comme Promethee...
Loin d'etre secondaire dans l'oeuvre de Stefan Zweig, cette biographie, publiee apres sa mort, l'occupa dix annees durant. Et c'est toute son experience d'homme et d'ecrivain que resume l'auteur d'Ivresse de la metamorphose dans cette passionnante evocation de Balzac, en qui il voyait l'un des phares de la litterature europeenne.

Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a translator and later as a biographer.

Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoying literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British citizenship.

After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double suicide.
