"Since the beginning of the book, no one has been completely alone, without any perspective other than that offered by their own point of view, for they have at their fingertips the present and the past, the thoughts and feelings of all humanity." Stefan Zweig was an avid reader who captured his observations both in the reviews he published in the written press and in the prologues to the works of other authors. The texts collected here are a good example of the sagacity, erudition, and elegance to which Zweig has accustomed us, but above all, they are a testament to his love for literature as an invitation to dialogue, a passion so intense and frank that it is not surprising that he knows how to transmit it to his readers like few masters.
