Excerpt from Three Masters

I should gladly have added to these great figures (one a Frenchman, one an Englishman, and one a Russian) the study of a representative German novelist, worthy of the name in the sense I have just explained. But I regret to say I have found none, either in our own time or in the past, who is entitled to take his place beside the present trio. Do I presume too much in the hope that Three M aster: may help to evoke a fourth from the womb of the coming time — a German master novelist whose birth I thus greet from afar?

    5.0 out of 5 stars A most deliriously enthusiastic author analyses Dostoievsky...
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2017

    I love Stefan Zweig for his prose - delirious, hyperbolic, elegiac, at times even overly sentimental. Now imagine this writer describing the greatest author that ever was, Dostoievsky, the man who made his characters delve into abysses of despair, anger, love for humanity, murderous hatred and near infinite kindness. This is not a trivial meeting among authurs: it is an explosion of admiration, of tender understanding and deep connection. I cannot think of a more enthusiastic author to describe and analyze the life work of the most disgraced and talented author the world has ever known. Am I biased? Absolutely. Am I the ideal reader for such a book, in that Zweig gives words to my own devotion for Dostoievsky, words I could not think of myself? Oh, yes. As a fan of both, I can't help but be deeply in love with this chapter on D.

    Half the book is about Dostoievsky. Zweig certainly admires Balzac and Dickens. But nothing compares to his astonishment about D.'s life and works. A few snippets:
    "One who knows himself well, knows Dostoeffsky well; for if any man has succeeded in realizing the quintessence of all things human, it is surely he".
    "He is never allowed to be sure of himself, never granted a leisure hour, for he must always be aware of the present of the Almighty who chastens him in sign of loving kindness. Not for a a moment may he rest in peace and happiness, for the road upon which he travels leads away into the world without end."
