Mary Queen of Scots by Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig's classic biography of one of British history's most fascinating figures, rereleased in a new edition to tie in with launch of the major new Hollywood film Mary Queen of Scots.
“Zweig's readability made him one of the most popular writers of the early twentieth century all over the world, with translations into thirty languagesHis lives of Mary Stuart and Marie Antoinette were international bestsellers.”
—The Economist Intelligent Life
“Zweig's accumulated historical and cultural studies, whether in essay or monograph form, remain a body of achievement almost too impressive to take in... Books on Marie-Antoinette, Mary Stuart, and Magellan were international best sellers.”
—Cultural Amnesia
“Stefan Zweig cherished the everyday imperfections and frustrated aspirations of the men and women he analyzed with such affection and understanding.”
—Times Literary Supplement
“Zweig is the most adult of writers; civilized, urbane, but never jaded or cynical; a realist who none the less believed in the possibility—the necessity—of empathy.”

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a translator and later as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoying literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British citizenship. After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double suicide.
