A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

'It zips through the story and the clear, bright drawnings are a welcome addition and really bring their time in Brazil to life. The likenesses are excellent - not just of Zweig, but of other figures too, such as Freud and Joseph Roth. Its ambition is admirable. For those who don't know the story of Zweig's decline from international celebrity to suicidal refugee this is a friendly and easy introduction.' - Jewish Renaissance

'The compositions are full of splendor, Guillaume Sorel likes to play with space, and the movement between the past and the present is perfectly handled...Sorel creates a climate of uncertainty, with little pleasures here and there. He has staged the last struggle of Stefan Zweig with a remarkable sobriety and empathy.' - Le Figaro

'An extraordinary escape and a great work of art.' -- - Salon Littéraire

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A ship slices through the waves of the Atlantic ocean. On board is Stefan Zweig, the renowned Austrian writer, and his second wife, Lotte. They have left New York and are bound for Brazil; President Vargas has just announced that he will welcome European Jews who have been forced into exile. Will they find peace there? On 22 February 1942, Stefan Zweig and Lotte committed suicide in Petropolis, putting an end to their wanderings. Their lives during these last few months in Brazil are the subject of this graphic novel, an adaptation of the novel by Stefan Seksik.
