Ostend, 1936: the Belgian seaside town is playing host to a coterie of artists, intellectuals and madmen, who find themselves in limbo while Europe gazes into an abyss of fascism and war. Among them is Stefan Zweig, a man in crisis: his German publisher has shunned him, his marriage is collapsing, his house in Austria no longer feels like home. Along with his lover Lotte, he seeks refuge in this paradise of promenades and parasols, where he reunites with his estranged friend Joseph Roth. For a moment, they create a fragile haven; but as Europe begins to crumble around them, they find themselves trapped on an uncanny kind of holiday, watching the world burn.

A collection of the great writer's observations, made during his travels across the Europe he loved so much When I am on a journey, all ties suddenly fall away. I feel myself quite unburdened, disconnected, free - there is something in it marvellously uplifting and invigorating. Whole past epochs suddenly return: nothing is lost, everything still full of inception, enticement. For the insatiably curious, ardent Europhile Stefan Zweig, travel was both a necessary cultural education and a personal balm for the depression he experienced when rooted in one place for too long. He spent much of his life weaving between the countries of Europe, visiting authors and friends, exploring the continent in the heyday of international rail travel. Comprising a lifetime's observations on Zweig's travels in Europe, this collection can be dipped into or savoured at length, and paints a rich and sensitive picture of Europe before the Second World War. Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Between the wars, Zweig was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he left Austria, and lived in London, Bath and New York - a period during which he produced his most celebrated works: his only novel, Beware of Pity, and his memoir, The World of Yesterday. He eventually settled in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.

Since 1945, Austria has presented an incredible success story and has survived the crisis better than most other countries. But such a success story cannot be assumed to continue automatically. Complacency, a reluctance to reform, and a tardiness to increase economic performance threaten to send the country into decline. Hannes Androsch does not confine his efforts to diagnosing thestatus quo. He seeks to trace the formative influences in the historical development of the Austrian identity, and clearly identifies those forces which have retarded the development of the countries for centuries. These range from an excessive admiration for the provincial political aristocracy, right through to a notoriously difficult relationship with Austria's most outstanding personalities. Building upon a varied and multi-facetted past, Androsch presents seven arguments which will be material in shaping the future of the country, a future which will be inextricably bound with that of Europe.

«Este impecable ensayo de Benedetta Craveri se lee como la gran novela erótica de la monarquía francesa de los siglos XVI-XVIII vista a través de las vidas de reinas y favoritas». Il Corriere della SeraCraveri narra con maestría la astucia y destreza con que reinas y favoritas crearon alianzas, repartieron favores y castigos, aparecieron y desaparecieron de la escena en el momento justo, para así definir el rumbo de la historia. La historia de mujeres como Gabrielle d'Estrées o Madame du Barry, Ana de Austria o María Antonieta, amantes y reinas que convirtieron su supuesta debilidad en un instrumento de dominio. Durante siglos se ha predicado que confiar a una mujer cualquier responsabilidad de gobierno sería «algo que repugnaría a la naturaleza [...], un trastocamiento del recto orden y de todo principio de justicia». Sin embargo, especialmente en la Francia del Antiguo Régimen, las mujeres se han arrogado ese poder, haciendo vanas en la práctica las leyes y las costumbres que se lo negaban. La más destacada de todas fue Catalina de Médicis, que durante treinta años logró mantener intacta la autoridad real. Pero junto a las reinas —y a menudo al mismo tiempo y en antagonismo con ellas— otras mujeres ejercieron, en los siglos anteriores a la Revolución, una enorme influencia sobre los equilibrios políticos internos y externos de la monarquía francesa: las poderosísimas amantes reales, quienes tuvieron que aprender a utilizar la astucia, a corromper, a castigar... y a salir de escena en el momento justo. Un recorrido imprescindible que reafirma, con el rigor y la destreza narrativa de Craveri, la repercusión y relevancia que ejercieron las mujeres en momentos tan convulsos como definitorios de la historia.
