Mary Queen of Scots (Paperback)

"Zweig's readability made him one of the most popular writers of the early twentieth century all over the world, with translations into thirty languages. His lives of Mary Stuart and Marie Antoinette were international bestsellers."
-The Economist Intelligent Life

"Zweig's accumulated historical and cultural studies, whether in essay or monograph form, remain a body of achievement almost too impressive to take in... Books on Marie-Antoinette, Mary Stuart, and Magellan were international best sellers."
-Cultural Amnesia

"Stefan Zweig cherished the everyday imperfections and frustrated aspirations of the men and women he analyzed with such affection and understanding."
-Times Literary Supplement

"Zweig is the most adult of writers; civilized, urbane, but never jaded or cynical; a realist who none the less believed in the possibility-the necessity-of empathy."
-The Independent
