About the Author: Stefan Zweig
Stefan Zweig was an Austrian novelist, playwright, journalist and biographer. At the height of his literary career, in the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most famous writers in the world.
“No poet of recent years has possessed this need of expressing his life to others, more imperatively, pitifully, or tragically than Paul Verlaine, because no other poet was so weak to the press of destiny."

From prominent writer Stefan Zweig comes the biography of one of the greatest representatives of the fin de siècle in international and French poetry – Paul Verlaine.
