Displacement: Zweig, Roth and Benjamin

Three Eminent Writers Hunted to Death by Fascism

In this pioneering study, Richard Harper chronicles the parallel fates of Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth, and Walter Benjamin—three Jewish literary masters whose lives were shattered by fascism. Their stories of exile and loss illuminate the refugee experience, bridging past persecution with present-day displacement.

This compelling work explores the profound experiences of persecution and exile as seen through the interconnected lives of three remarkable writers: Stefan Zweig, Joseph Roth and Walter Benjamin. All three were displaced and hunted to death by fascism. Their literary brilliance, tumultuous lives and tragic ends continue to captivate the imagination and inspire. By bringing together the extraordinary stories of Zweig, Roth and Benjamin for the first time in a single overview, Richard Harper offers a thought-provoking examination of the meaning and feeling of displacement, so highly relevant to the widespread and challenging issues of persecution and migration today.
