Stefan Zweig is a man about whom we know much, and sometimes nothing. If it is possible to be a world-renowned writer who traveled around the world with the social elite, and still be a great mystery, then Zweig achieved this. There are thousands of letters written by the man, a large collection of novels, poetry, biographies, interviews, and films based on his writings. He was even kind enough to pen an autobiography. However, despite the large body of work he left behind, his mystique remains. One of his two wives wrote extensively about him after Zweig's death, and even she acknowledged that no one really knew him. This short biography tells the story of the life and times of the man who inspired Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel."
