About this listen
Zweig, s'appuyant sur les archives de l'Empire autrichien, retrace avec pénétration l'évolution de cette trop jeune reine de 15 ans, que la faiblesse de Louis XVI va précipiter dans un tourbillon de fêtes avant de la vouer à la guillotine.
La lecture de Laurent Jacquet, mêlant sensibilité et rigueur, rend pleinement justice aux exceptionnelles qualités de biographe de Stefan Zweig.© Titre original : Marie-Antoinette. First published by Insel Verlag, Leipzig, 1932.
© Williams Verlag, Zürich and Atrium Press, London, 1976.© Editions Grasset && Fasquelle, 1933, pour la traduction française. Traduit de l'allemand par Alzir Hella

Story
Joseph Fouché (1759-1820) est l'une des figures les plus énigmatiques de son temps. Il a servi avec zèle la République, le Directoire, le Consulat, l'Empire et la Monarchie. Homme de l'ombre, disciple de Machiavel, Fouché aura survécu à tous les changements de régime sans jamais se départir de cette "absence de conviction" qui fascina Balzac autant que Stefan Zweig. Élève chez les Oratoriens, il devint sous la Révolution un pilleur d'églises. Conventionnel modéré, il vota la mort du roi et participa activement au massacre des Lyonnais royalistes.

Story
Au soir de sa vie, un vieux professeur se souvient de l'aventure qui, plus que les honneurs et la réussite de sa carrière, a marqué sa vie. A dix-neuf ans, il a été fasciné par la personnalité d'un de ses maîtres ; l'admiration et la recherche inconsciente d'un Père font alors naître en lui un sentiment mêlé d'idolâtrie, de soumission et d'un amour presque morbide.

D'Ajaccio à Sainte-Hélène, en passant par le Grand-Saint-Bernard, Austerlitz, Moscou, Waterloo, l'île d'Elbe, André Castelot a mis ses pas dans ceux de Napoléon Bonaparte pour respirer et restituer le décor de son prodigieux destin. Exploitant et mettant en valeur, avec son art célèbre du récit qui visualise les événements, les lieux et les personnages, une immense masse d'archives, de mémoires et de correspondance parfois inédits ou oubliés, il a écrit cette monumentale biographie si vivante, si colorée, si passionnante que depuis trente ans, son public se renouvelle sans cesse.

Auteur de nombreuses biographies (Fouché, Balzac, Marie-Antoinette, Magellan, ...), Stefan Zweig dresse avec psychologie le portrait d'un homme libre et tolérant. Alors qu'il fuit la guerre dans le lointain Brésil, Stefan Zweig cherche dans l'œuvre de Montaigne à soulager son désespoir, mais aussi dans l'expérience vécue d'un homme qui se trouva dans une situation proche de la sienne.

Le Monde d'hier est l'un des plus grands livres-témoignages de notre époque. Zweig y retrace l'évolution de l'Europe de 1895 à 1941, le destin d'une génération entière d'hommes confrontés plus brutalement que d'autres à l'Histoire et à toutes les "catastrophes imaginables". Chroniqueur de l'Âge d'or européen, Zweig évoque avec bonheur sa vie de bourgeois privilégié dans la Vienne d'avant 1914 et quelques grandes figures qui furent ses amis : Schnitzler, Rilke, Rolland, Freud ou Valéry.

Son mari, Charles Bovary, ne ressemble en rien aux amants mystérieux et délicats de ses lectures : c'est un officier de santé qui exerce dans un village normand où Emma, confrontée à la réalité de la vie quotidienne, va peu à peu perdre pied.

Story
Cette œuvre est à la fois roman, histoire et poésie. En imaginant les Mémoires d'un grand empereur romain, l'auteur a voulu "refaire du dedans ce que les archéologues du XIXe siècle ont fait du dehors". Jugeant sans complaisance sa vie d'homme et son œuvre politique, Hadrien n'ignore pas que Rome finira un jour par périr, mais son réalisme romain et son humanisme hérité des Grecs lui font sentir l'importance de penser et de servir jusqu'au bout.

Les motifs du crime restent inconnus. Arrêté, Meursault a été transféré à la prison d'Alger."

Pour Ludo le narrateur, l'unique amour de sa vie commence à l'âge de dix ans, en 1930, lorsqu'il aperçoit dans la forêt de sa Normandie natale la petite Lila Bronicka, aristocrate polonaise passant ses vacances avec ses parents. Depuis la mort des siens, le jeune garçon a pour tuteur son oncle Ambroise Fleury dit "le facteur timbré" parce qu'il fabrique de merveilleux cerfs-volants connus dans le monde entier. Doué de l'exceptionnelle mémoire "historique" de tous les siens, fidèle aux valeurs de "l'enseignement public obligatoire", le petit Normand n'oubliera jamais Lila.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

Story
Clark Griswold was onto something...at least with his annual holiday meltdown. And since the last three weeks of my life have been riddled with humbug—another breakup, a broken toe, an office promotion I deserved and didn’t get—I’m not at all in the mood to celebrate nor have the happ, happ, happiest Christmas EVER.

Story
My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Story
When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs. But Heather would never consider doing anything like that. That is, until her longtime boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself failing anatomy, and her world starts to crumble.

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Excellent detailed biography
I knew next to nothing about Marie Antoinette before discovering this audiobook. I am fortunate enough to be fluent in French, and I found this biography to be well researched, intelligent and moving.
