Roland, a university professor with thirty years of experience, receives a tribute book from his students and faculty colleagues for his sixtieth birthday, featuring the most important moments of his professional career. But the book is incomplete. No one knows about the person who inspired his studies and changed his way of seeing life. This is the story of his best-kept secret. In The Confusion of Sentiments, Stefan Zweig explores human passions and contradictions from a new angle and weaves a masterful narrative sustained by his elegant style and precision.

Born in Vienna, the prolific Zweig was a poet in his early years. In the 1920s, he achieved fame with the many biographies he wrote of famous people including Balzac, Dostoevsky, Dickens and Freud. Erasmus with whom he closely identified, was the subject of a longer biography. He also wrote the novellas Amok (1922) and The Royal Game (1944). As Nazism spread, Zweig, a Jew, fled to the United States and then to Brazil. He hoped to start a new life there, but the haunting memory of Nazism, still undefeated, proved too much for him. He died with his wife in a suicide pact. (Bowker Author Biography)
