The Struggle with the Daemon
12 hrs. 32 min.
Description
From the author of the novels “The Heart Unquiet,” “Confusion of Feelings,” and “Letter from an Unknown Woman.”
Stefan Zweig is an Austrian classic, a master of psychological realism, and one of the leading representatives of the artistic movement known as “Viennese Modernism.”
For many readers, Zweig is associated above all with love short fiction. However, he was one of the authors who helped lay the foundations of the genre of the literary biography, turning dry historical names and facts into a narrative about real, living people.
“Fight with the Demon” is one of Zweig’s most vivid books, in which the author paints portraits of three “outsiders of their age,” three great genius-madmen—Hölderlin, Kleist, and Nietzsche.
With the subtle psychological insight characteristic of him, Zweig describes in detail the life path of each of them, revealing many common threads in their destinies and giving the reader a chance to better understand the phenomenon of these remarkable personalities.
