Brossura. Condition: new. Traduzione di Dolei G., Gandini U. e Vallacqua G.Roma, 2022; br., pp. 320, cm 12,5x20,5. Un'esistenza tormentata, sempre in fuga: Stefan Zweig č riuscito a sopravvivere a due guerre mondiali e alla furia antisemita, che non ha risparmiato perņ i suoi libri, bruciati nei roghi del 1933. Elegante scrittore, Zweig č stato anche un instancabile viaggiatore, ancora oggi capace di guidare i lettori verso terre inesplorate. Eppure, il regista Wes Anderson ci confida di non aver mai sentito parlare di Zweig prima di acquistare, pił o meno per caso, una copia dell' "Impazienza del cuore", il suo unico, grande romanzo. Ha subito amato quel libro e all'improvviso si č trovato con decine di altri suoi scritti che non aspettavano altro che essere letti. "Nella Societą delle chiavi incrociate", Wes Anderson non solo discute in un'intervista inedita della vita e dell'opera di Zweig, ma fa anche un'accurata selezione dei libri che lo hanno influenzato. Dal "Mondo di ieri" all' "Impazienza del cuore", passando per "Ventiquattro ore nella vita di una donna", questo volume č un appassionante viaggio nello straordinario universo di Zweig, in compagnia di uno dei registi pił visionari di tutti i tempi. Libro.
