Biographies of Three Masters

Drei Meister

Zweig was exceptionally skilled in his unique observations and descriptions of social themes, particularly his ability to delve into the human psyche, engaging in a brutal, almost psychic, and psychological analysis of human nature and the shadows of the human soul, his depth and accuracy being virtually unparalleled. Three Great Masters is Zweig's biography of the uniquely great 19th-century novelists: Balzac, Dickens, and Dostoyevsky. This book cuts to the heart of the matter, commenting on and comparing the creative styles and ideas of these three literary masters. By analyzing the inner worlds of his subjects and interpreting the inevitability of their literary styles and fates, Zweig creates "a Balzac character, a Dickens image, and a Dostoyevsky personality." This is both a biography of "a uniquely great novelist" of the 19th century and a unique work on the psychology of the novelist.
