世紀末最後的精神貴族 茨威格用盡生命最後的氣力,寫給世界的遺書 一戰後,他告別唯美,冷靜潛沉,寫出《一位陌生女子的來信》 **二戰後,他信念崩潰,****傾盡心念,**刻下《昨日世界》的字字句句 只因為,文字是他向世界訣別的唯一方式 ◆ 「茨威格太會說故事,讓《昨日世界》成為今日世界的鏡子。最值得推薦川普讀的一本****書。」 ──****耿一偉 「我們每個人都是這種巨大轉變的見證人,每個人都迫不得已成了見證人。」 ──****漢娜.鄂蘭 【內容簡介】 《昨日世界》藏著一個時而甜蜜,時而黑暗的夢幻人生 當他的世界像被炸成碎片的藏寶盒 茨威格仍然選擇擁抱昨日的幻覺 「出於絕望,我正在寫自己一生的歷史。」 茨威格留給世界的不只是陌生女子的來信,還有關於他自身的死亡之謎。這安歇在遺作《昨日世界》中的謎團,卻召喚出維也納的黃金時代: 一戰之前,那太平的「黃金時代」,是理想、自由、文化、藝術得以抽長茁壯的沃土,他的故鄉維也納更是舉城上下熱愛文化藝術的優雅城市,凝聚了幾世紀以來的卓越成就。 茨威格身邊圍繞著當時最重要的文壇作家與藝術家:羅丹、里爾克、托瑪斯•曼、羅曼•羅蘭、喬伊斯、佛洛伊德、約翰•史特勞斯、霍夫曼斯塔爾……他生動地描繪了他的生活與文人軼事,勾勒出一幅令人驚歎的時代肖像。而這一切,在一戰後一夕崩潰,二戰更摧毀了他的精神家園: 「人類自相殘殺帶給我的恐懼,遠甚於死亡,而現在,那場將我們的生存、幸福、時間和財富都當作賭注的賭博又開始了……我感到一生之中從未有過的孤獨。」 又一個時代結束,又一個新時代開始。在前方迎接的,是全新的美好變革,還是更大的崩壞? 人們總是堅信,良知依然存在,野蠻終究是有限度的,總有一天會被人性消滅。然而,茨威格早已預見,這扇有可能開啟的希望之窗,似乎注定會一再因為人類的無知與自欺,被無預警地突然關上。難保有一天,我們又會再度成為暴行之下的犧牲者…… 歐洲消逝的黃金時代僅存的文字證明 電影《歡迎來到布達佩斯大飯店》靈感泉源 **【特別收錄】鬼才導演.**魏斯安德森訪談錄,暢談他的靈感來源:茨威格與其作品 【訪談者簡介】 魏斯.安德森(Wes...
