Perhaps what makes the works of Stefan Zweig such a refreshing read for the twenty-first century is the empathy that lies at the heart of Zweig’s writing. He enjoys not the privileged detachment of the flaneur; his characters are incapable of wandering foreign streets without subconsciously seeking human connection. The protagonist is always drawn into the scene he witnesses, quickly entangled in strangers’ sufferings and analyzing their sorrow; and love, however tragic, is the core of every expressed feeling, the impetus for every action.
