What is “Yesterday’s World”, the inspiration behind “The Grand Budapest Hotel”?
Until then, I had never heard of Stefan Zweig and his work, which was the inspiration for the movie ``The Grand Budapest Hotel,'' but of course I was curious about what inspired my favorite movie. So, first I read the book that is said to have had the most influence, `` Yesterday's World ''.
Stefan Zweig was a national Austrian writer who represented the early 20th century, but his name was buried and forgotten as a dark shadow fell over Europe and we headed towards the second world war. Zweig, who was Jewish and peace-loving, was the first target of unreasonable violence, and his works were thrown into flames one after another.
Zweig, who was chased from his homeland and became an outsider in exile, writes his memoirs in Brazil, where he eventually arrives, even as he struggles with his identity, which is in limbo. That was "yesterday's world."
Focusing on the city of Vienna at the end of the century, which was meticulously sketched with an excellent eye for observation, he explains how the prosperous European culture matured and headed for collapse, and what he thought, thought, and how he spent his time during that time. Zweig vividly portrays Tanaka. Far from his hometown, he wrote an autobiographical historical record while thinking about the lost world, and soon he and his wife took their own lives.
