MARIE ANTOINETTE - Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig was born on November 28, 1881, in Vienna, and is one of the most important European authors of the first half of the 20th century. A Jew, he was persecuted by the Nazis and forced into exile. His final home was in Brazil, where he met a tragic end. A versatile writer, Zweig dedicated himself to almost all literary activities and, in addition to novellas, also became famous as a historian and biographer. His biography of Maria Antonieta was an absolute success. By the end of 1932, just a few months after its release, the rights had already been sold for 14 editions in different languages. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer paid a sum for the copyrights that would allow him to take two years off work, and thus the work also became an authentic success at the box office.
