Stefan Zweig unterwegs zum fremden Ich

Abstract

This article focuses on the theme of travelling in Stefan Zweig’s works. The text analysis shows Zweig’s representations of his Fremderfahrung from his Bohemian Journeys trough Europe, India, America until his exile in Brazil. Travelling was for the author of Die Welt von Gestern a Jewish supranational way of life, the symbol of the eternal wandering, but also the only way of life for a restless artist, who needed freedom to flee his demon.
