Signed letter dated 1933, written by Stefan Zweig, thanking an interested person for having interest in his work. Paper apprx 10-1/2" x 8-1/4". Framed under glass, overall apprx 14-3/4" x 12". Provenance: The George Marek Collection, New York. Zweig gained first fame as a poet and translator, and then as a biographer, short-story writer, and novelist. His collections of autographs and manuscripts grew into a unique collection. The fall of Singapore in 1942 made Zweig fear that Nazism would eventually conquer the world. Disillusioned and isolated, Zweig committed suicide with his second wife, Charlotte E. Altmann, in Petrópolis, near Rio de Janeiro on February 23, 1942.
