About Event
Written between 1936-1942, the memoir of Austrian-Jewish writer Stefan Zweig documents the sociopolitical upheaval that he experienced in the first half of the 20th century. Our reading includes four excerpts, spanning Zweig's memories of peacetime in pre-war Vienna, to the outbreak and horrors of WWI, to Zweig's reflections on humanity and a changed Europe in the early 1940s.
This text will be read by Sebastian Urbanke, and presented alongside music by Philip Glass, Franz Schubert, Oskar Strauss, and Richard Strauss.
