Remarkable Case of Davidson's...

H. G. Wells

The transitory mental aberration of Sidney Davidson, remarkable enough in itself, is still more remarkable if Wade's explanation is to be credited. It sets one dreaming of the oddest possibilities of intercommunication in the future, of spending an intercalary five minutes on the other side of the world, or being watched in our most secret operations by unsuspected eyes. It happened that I was the immediate witness of Davidson's seizure, and so it falls naturally to me to put the story upon paper.

Nutcracker and the Mouse King

E.T.A. Hoffmann

"Beyond the sugar plums lies a world of clockwork wonders and ancient curses."

On Christmas Eve, young Marie Stahlbaum witnesses her new Nutcracker come to life to lead an army of toy soldiers against the seven-headed Mouse King. But this is no simple bedtime story. In Hoffmann's original masterpiece, we discover the tragic "History of the Hard Nut," the secret of the Princess Pirlipat, and the true identity of the Nutcracker himself. Guided by her mysterious and eccentric Godfather Drosselmeyer, Marie must show true courage and devotion to break a century-old spell. It is a brilliant example of German Romanticism, filled with mechanical marvels, gingerbread castles, and the haunting beauty of a childhood imagination that refuses to be tamed.

The "Hard Nut" Backstory: One of the most fascinating elements missing from many adaptations is the backstory of how the Nutcracker became deformed. This gothic sub-plot involves a vengeful Queen Mouse, a magical nut called Krakatuk, and a lesson on the fickle nature of beauty and gratitude.

Surrealism and Wonder: Hoffmann was a master of "The Uncanny." He crafts a world where toys have complex social hierarchies and the scenery shifts from a quiet parlor to the sparkling Kingdom of Dolls. The story challenges the reader to wonder: is Marie dreaming, or is she the only one who can see the world as it truly is?

Why It Is a Must-Read: If you only know the ballet, the book will surprise you with its depth, wit, and slightly darker edge. It is a story about the power of belief and the idea that "only a pure heart can see the marvelous." It remains the ultimate tribute to the magic of the holiday season and the boundless nature of the human spirit.

Twilight Alley - An early 20th...

Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig was born on the 28th November 1881 in Vienna, then part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and into a wealthy Jewish family with interests in banking and textiles.

He studied philosophy at the University of Vienna and achieved his degree in 1904.

Zweig first published in 1900 and two decades later was a popular and highly regarded author in many parts of the world, although not in England.

During the Great War he served in the Archives of the Ministry of War and supported Austria's war effort through his writings in the ‘Neue Freie Presse’. Whilst his work praised his Country’s progress and, on occasions, its excesses and massacres, he later claimed, in his memoir, that he was a pacifist.

In 1912 he began an affair with the married, and mother or two, Friderike Maria von Winternitz, but it was only in 1920 that circumstances allowed them to marry. She took care of much of his business interests and supported him artistically. In this decade too many of his most famous works including the short stories; ‘Amok’, and ‘Letter from an Unknown Woman’ (filmed in 1948 by Max Ophüls), novels; ‘Confusion of Feelings’ and biographies including that on Marie Antoinette (filmed by MGM in 1938) were published.

He was also the librettist with Richard Strauss of two operas and a keen collector of autographed musical manuscripts. His collection of over two hundred pieces was later donated to the British Library.

In 1934, Zweig, as a Jew, and finding life very difficult under his anti-Semitic government and the neighbouring Nazi’s persuaded him to leave Austria for England.

In 1940 Zweig, now divorced and married to his second wife, and former secretary, Lotte Altmann, left London and via New York moved to Petrópolis, a German-colonized town 50 miles north of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Although he continued to write he became, along with his wife, increasingly depressed about the situation in Europe and the future for humanity,

His memoir ‘The World of Yesterday’ was completed on the 22nd February 1942.

The following day the Zweig’s were found in their house dead of a barbiturate overdose, holding each other’s hand. He was 60.
