Synopsis "Le Bouquiniste Mendel (in French)"

Dans la Vienne du début du siècle, il n'est pas un bibliophile qui ne connaisse Jakob Mendel, catalogue vivant de l'ensemble du savoir imprimé. Monomaniaque à la mémoire prodigieuse, affreusement peu doué en affaires, il est affligé d'une boulimie bibliographique qui fait de lui un homme précieux. Perpétuellement installé à la table d'un café du vieux Vienne dont il a fait son quartier général, il délivre ses expertises érudites à tous les amateurs ou spécialistes qui ont le bon sens de venir le consulter. La Première Guerre mondiale va mettre sens dessus dessous l'univers de Mendel, et le précipiter brutalement dans le monde des vivants, dont il n'a jamais rien appris...

(Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brazil, 1942) a very popular writer, both as an essayist and biographer as well as a novelist, he was one of the most versatile writers of the first half of the 20th century. His narrative ability, skill, and delicacy in describing feelings and the elegance of his style make him a fascinating storyteller. He was associated with the great authors of his time: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Tagore, among others. After several decades in which his works were inexplicably ignored, Zweig has been rediscovered and currently enjoys the prestige and popularity that literary justice demanded.
