Momentos estelares de la humanidad

Stellar Moments of Humanity invites us to be spectators, of those dramatically charged moments, where, in a brief interval of time chosen by the author, we witness the birth of a new historical rhythm, an impasse in the evolution of humanity. In a present marked by the monotonous flow of events, we can enjoy in each of these "stellar moments" the greatest virtue of the author as a writer and historian: his infallible instinct to combine the psychological and historical thresholds, locate that right point of threshold, the critical moment that ends up untying the tensions of an era. With the clear influence of the great Greek and Latin classics, the selection and combination of materials, explanations, Zweig's goldsmith work in this work is accompanied by a narrative work that aims to seduce and elevate the reader towards a perspective where the tragic dignity of the human fact deserves all our respect and empathy. Not so interested in registering what truly was "as by how great it once was", Zweig's prose seeks to condense the facts, to underline the brief magnetism of a gesture, the splendor of an action, and extols them with the power of a extraordinary style and psychological subtlety. A great work in which Zweig writes as an educator who understands that history is basically a story, which must move all kinds of readers to extract the best of its provisions. It has been said, and rightly so, that Zweig almost always searches.
