Everything by Zweig seems to be worth reading, little of it is available on the net.

His tragic life has quite an echo in Jeremiah, it's easy to see fate scheming against them both.

A retelling of the Biblical story but with clear overtones of the German situation in the times just after World War I.

At Gutenberg.

And I'm dipping into Oppenheim, indulging my taste for golden age detective stories. Oppenheim wrote so much and only some is good. Anyone have recs? "The Great Impersonation" was my latest.
