The World Of Yesterday: Memoirs Of A European

Austrian writer Stefan Zweig's final work, posted to his publisher the day before his tragic death, brings the destruction of a war-torn Europe vividly to life. Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna; its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall. A truthful and passionate account of the horror that tore apart European culture, The World of Yesterday gives us insight into the history of a world brutally destroyed, written by a master at the height of his genius.

'A marvellous recapturing of a Europe that Hitler and his thugs destroyed. Zweig seems to have known everyone, and writes about the great figures of his day with insight, sympathy and, most unusually for a writer, modesty' - John Banville

'Unnervingly topical' - The Week

'This is a wonderful book of a lifetime' - Irish Times

'I can't recommend it highly enough' - Four Thought

'Zweig's memoir speaks an important message to us today about how quickly war can erupt and change our lives for good. It also demonstrates how unprepared most people were, ignoring all the signs. Zweig was one of the best known authors in Europe at his time, an excellent observer and writer' - EUobserver

'Zweig's celebration of the brotherhood of peoples reminds us that there is another way' - The Nation

'One of liberalism's greatest defenders' - New Republic

A perfect collector’s item for any TES fan!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Disclaimer: This is a collector’s item. The content within these books can be accessed in game. If This turns you off, then this product wasn’t made for you. GOOD: The quality of the cover and pages are worthy the premium price tag. The new book smell is top notch! The artwork is so splendid, I found myself starring into them for several minutes, to appreciate the finer details. BAD: None for me. I played TES 4, and TES 5 more than any other game by a few hundred hours. I only recently became addicted to Elder Scrolls Online, and decided to treat my emphatic love of TES’s with these books, and I am quite pleased with my purchase. Some of the lore I had come across in game already, but due to keeping up with other players in my party, I wasn’t able to devote time to reading it, so it was great come back to it. I’ve been reading through these slowly, usually right after playing a couple hours before bed, which makes for a fun way to decompress. I plan on ordering the Skyrim equivalent lore books. Great product!!!

Art and quality!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Now the first thing I want to mention is the art style, i am absolutely in love with it, it's so sleek and beautiful just everything about it, so much loveand care was put into these books and as someone who loves skyrim it's just perfect. The lore is wonderful and the stories are just as amazing, it can be boring for me but that's just due to my adhd. The quality of the pages are strong and thick they wont tear by just fliping a page. the box itself is lovely just slide the booksnright on in and they fit perfectly! So for anyone who loves skyrim this box set is highly recommended

Great books, quality control could use a little work but otherwise they are great.
Format: Hardcover
The books are really nice. They are very well put together and full of little stories and background from the ES universe. My only gripe is that the first book had some really odd looking marks on the cover and back and some of the font on the spine was damaged. These were purchased brand new by the way.

The Elder Scrolls Online Lore Books!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Great set, it was bigger than expected. Honestly I always wanted to read more about the lore in the elder scrolls series.... well that and I kind of skipped most of the taking in the game because I wanted to get to the good stuff. Basically I didn't really pay attention to much of the lore in elder scrolls online anyways. I haven't read it yet but it's pretty much all the lore in the elder scrolls online. Just from looking in the table of contents, the first book talks about the world itself, and all its history. It is labeled as such from a short history, then goes on as follows - Aldmeri Dominon History, Daggerfall Covenant, Ebon Pact and Creatures. Book 2 is were most of the interesting stories are. It's listed as follows - Racial Motifs, Lore, Magicka, Oblivion, and Daedra. Nearly all the pages in both books have illustrations in pretty much every page. It ranges from stretches to full full on drawings, they are really nice to look at. Oh and the quality of the hard books are like a 10 out of 10 because it's designed in a way that the edge of the book doesn't bend from the crease. If you buy hard books you should know what I mean, by just opening it bends the hardcover that it doesn't close after bending because most "hardcover" books are made with cheap plastic. This though? This is a real hardcover right here, quality that all hard covers should follow. I'm super satisfied with this set, I'll probably start reading it tomorrow! I also pre-order the elder scrolls skyrim hardcover book set 1-3 and if it's anything like this one? I'll be impressed. Just buy it, it's fantastic.
