Book Description

Casada aos catorze anos com o herdeiro da Coroa francesa, o futuro Luís XVI, Maria Antonieta mostrou-se desde o início inconsequente e despreparada para desempenhar o papel que haviam determinado para ela. O povo logo lhe atribuiu a culpa por tudo que há séculos vinha padecendo sob a monarquia - e aos poucos essa jovem rainha viu-se envolvida pelos acontecimentos sombrios da Revolução Francesa. Condenada à morte, revelou-se então a verdadeira descendente da poderosa família imperial dos Habsburgo: uma soberana digna e resignada, que caminha serena para a guilhotina. Amigo de Freud e com um forte envolvimento com a psicanálise, Zweig foi um dos primeiros escritores a trabalhar consistentemente com um enfoque psicanalítico em suas biografias. Não se preocupou, portanto, em narrar todos os fatos da vida de Maria Antonieta, nem cada meandro dos desacertos revolucionários. Mas aos poucos dispôs as peças de um quebra-cabeça dramático para revelar o potencial trágico de uma personagem despreparada para o destino a ela reservado.

A farewell letter, including a letter to his first wife, after which Stefan Zweig and his second wife entered the bedroom and in one moment swallowed dozens of sleeping pills and embraced tenderly and hugged. The next day, the servants of the house broke into the bedroom because they were late in waking up to find the writer and his wife had died. In an eternal embrace and without making a fuss, the writer did not forget to give his pampered dog a large dose of hypnotics, so he slept in turn in front of the bedroom door.
