The works of the collection are illustrated by the magnificent graphic works of the talented artist Alexei Ilyich Kravchenko. Stephen Tsweig gained world fame of a talented novelist. The most significant works written in this genre are this collection. Zweig also composed fascinating romanticized biographies, reconstructing the motives of human actions on the basis of various documents and subtly describing the psychological background of the actions of his heroes. And they often became close friends of the writer, such as Romain Rollan, Sigmund Freud and many other creative personalities of the first third of the 20th century. The childhood of the future writer passed cloudlessly. Stefan was the son of a manufacturer, he studied at the gymnasium, and after that he studied philosophy at the University of Vienna. Everything was changed by the First World War. The convinced pacifist Zweig believed that she would become the last meat grinder in Europe, and writers like him would be able to prevent a new disaster. Alas! In 1934, Stefan Zweig left Austria his beloved in England in time. When the Second World War flashed on its territory, he fled to the USA, and then to Brazil. There, in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Zweig and his wife committed suicide at the end of February 1942, taking a fatal dose of sleeping pills. The world that the writer loved so much and which he described in his novels disappeared forever. The Cweig could not transfer this. The “invisible collection” in the book is decorated with engravings of Dürer and Rembrandt. And the remaining works of the collection are illustrations of the talented artist A. I. Kravchenko. He is known to lovers of books as a beautiful master who enriched his graphics from the publication of Hoffmann, Hugo, Gogol, Pushkin. Alexei Ilyich perfectly owned the technique of linogravura and etching, he masterfully conveyed with the help of strokes and the actions of the formidable forces of nature, and the movement of the human soul. At the same time, he was an outstanding painter and a subtle colorist. At the international exhibition of decorative art, the work of Kravchenko received the highest award in Paris in Paris. The future artist was born in the Samara province of pre -revolutionary Russia. His first drawing teacher was a visiting icon painter. The craving for education led a young man to Moscow. At the school of painting, sculpture and architecture, its mentors became Korovin, Serov and Vasnetsov. Before the revolution, Alexei Ilyich studied painting in Italy and Greece, his work fell into the Hermitage and the Tretyakov Gallery. In 1925, Kravchenko worked in Venice, Florence, Pisa and Rome. In 1929, he represented the art of Soviet Russia in New York at an international art exhibition, and in 1935 he became a professor at the Moscow Institute of Fine Arts. Alexey Ilyich was literally engaged in his favorite thing to the last sigh - he died in his workshop in 1940
