* Personal comment

German Austrian writer. In his works we find a great human concern, the main reason is the generation that surprised the war more than thirty years and above and a life grounded. Initial training was involved in the wonderful musical atmosphere of Vienna. The solvency of his family, was the main reason why from the beginning, he gave vent to one of his passions, traveling, and did so as a greater awareness of tolerance, is as able to find it universally painful experiences of the world, a passionate love of knowledge, which is helpful when putting ideas in their works, the first to protest against German intervention in the war.

It is known as the novelist “Soul Hunter” because of his great ability to capture, with keys mysterious psychology of action and puzzles for other subtle feelings.

“Zweig, psychologist accurate, penetrates the psychic background of authors and characters, but never loses sight of the social world in which they live.”

W. Roces

THREE TEACHERS

“… Balzac, Dickens and Dostoyevsky, great novelists are the only ones who know the … century is, in our view, an intimate and unflinching difference between the novelist and the author of novels. Novelist, within the meaning of this last and supreme word, it is only the genius encyclopedic, universal artist – let’s look at the scope of the work and the multitude of their shapes – shapes with his hands around a cosmos, which, next to the mundane world, raise their own world with laws own gravitation … the novelist statue in the world of creatures, a law of life, with such harmony that the world receives him a new way …. ”

Stefan Zweig, 1919.

Balzac

Born in Touraine in the year of 1799, the year that marks the beginning of the empire Bonaparte. This writer grew idolizing the image and the exploits of the great conqueror of distant lands that now had the Emperor, but received a big blow to the developed sense of superiority when you march through the Arch of Triumph foreign troops with his music of triumph and its flags flying. A time full of transitions like this could only instill a sense of relativity of all values. Was the example of Napoleon who instilled from childhood ambition to always aim high, never stopping in part, in the irrelevant. The first incursions of Balzac to writing, were unsuccessful, which is why temporarily abandons her, returning later to translate the desire to achieve what was in the beginning and has always been its engine, reducing the infinite the finite, unavailable to real humanly, all through the merger. It envelops and Europe with his human comedy. Balzac himself is proud of having been the first to show that under this struggle of those who say civilization is not less cruelty lies in the battlefields. For Balzac, the individual was a product formed by the climate, the social customs, perhaps, that is, by fate, that every individual and created an atmosphere absorbed before radiating self a new one. That is why let all the characters are formed from the events around them. Balzac has shown that there is no man who has his Waterloo, and battles are always the same, but may be delivered in a palace, in a cabin or in a pub.

Balzac’s passion is to paint the tense energy to an end, as an expression of conscious living will, regardless of whether such intentions are good or bad, fertile or sterile, provided it is intense. For him, the will, the intensity, are everything, they make the man, fame, success is nothing, it is chance that determines it. It is the professionalism in the performance of the shares, given the vital importance and relevance to others. Only great men who are concentrated in a vacuum, which is not dissipated in various directions, those whose passion absorbs all the sap yours and reserved for other efforts, the monomaniacs. Balzac was one of these great monomaniacs immortalized in his novels. One of the biggest mysteries surrounding the novelist, is to get all his encyclopedic knowledge, foundation of his greatest works, because of their lifestyle, only dedicated to writing, enclosed, and rarely seen. Balzac did not recognize the absolute values, except one, the money: money is the blood, the driving force of society.

“Genius is one that, at all times, knows how to express their thoughts into action. But the great and true geniuses are not continually develop this activity, otherwise, too semejarian God.”

Balzac

Dickens

Born in England in 1812. Dickens is the only great poet of the century whose inner meaning is fully conjugated with the spiritual needs of his time, is for this reason that his career soared through the skies from their first publications, generating all a literary phenomenon, months creating anxiety by month in each of their leyentes, eager for the new literary work of this wonderful author. Emerged in an atmosphere conducive to complete his artistic development, English culture, full of contrasts and material to let their creative imagination of the best example of the incursion of English culture to the fullest extent of life itself, full of lurking behavior every step of the inhabitants. All the works of Dickens are secular foundations in the veins of the English tradition.

Dickens appears at the right time, in which the war had ended, the heroic times, at a time when the country no longer wanted to worry, not to arouse strong emotions, all I wanted this society was to digest the latest events, and this was precisely what Dickens offered a gentle touch, infusing only sentimental feelings without tragic touches. This was precisely the sin of Dickens, the weak coil have been left for this law of necessity, his art is nourished by the moral hypocrisy: moral hedonist of a contented people, he is a prisoner of the English tradition, a prisoner of the spirit of time.

In his works, Dickens tries to reflect his society, the poor children of the streets, their needs, he noted its existence, because their memories of childhood torment and injustice of bad teachers, schools neglected Parent indifferent, indolent character, selfish most of the men. But Dickens was merely points to the wrong, finger pointing cautious open wound.

In comparison with Balzac and Dostoyevsky, Dickens’s characters, do not aspire to more than a modest life without hopes or dreams to pursue, always faithful profess a devotion to the humble classes. The poet wanted to teach the poetic charm of daily life to those living in detention there. The true love of his heart keeps ordinary couple, to the vulgar. Averse to rich and to the aristocracy, to the privileged life. Thanks to Dickens in England increased benevolence and compassion.

English revive and revive it incessantly over the generations and the poem of the man who shocks modesty desires, seeking a truce.

“While there are joy to needy men, men who, exhausted by the tragic tension of passions, they want to hear the mysterious music of poetry that flows softly of things, the novels of Dickens will return also unceasingly.”

Dostoyevsky

“By stepping in the fields of Dostoyevsky, tread the soil of primitive and unspoiled world at once, and feel that sweet terror invades us, as long as we get closer to the eternal elements.”

Dostoyevsky is a man, a poet, a Russian who is not bothered in the least in helping readers to understand him because he does not send direct messages and clear, but from our own experiences, our own life We headed in the light that leads us to the truth, as ever did a great philosopher such as Socrates.

The life of this great writer was always surrounded by cruelty, stemming from the first impression made by his face with his gaunt appearance destiny dictating every step he took and, accepting it as it was, without putting your hands to defend himself before her, is hereby same reason as in the life of this man was not pleasant moment.

Are your works that you are released instantly to fugases success, because of the low value given the number of his contemporaries. Its existence was so strong, that your life becomes a work of art, and his death a tragedy. Starting with the early years of his life that were lived in a nursing home. Reaching youth Dostoyevsky goes into the world of books.

Dostoyevsky seeks the truth, the immediate reality of their being limited. He is a realist writer. This writer wants to know the man at once a unit and a plurality, as an independent and as part of a whole.

His works include many of the aspects referred to the personal nature, many of the things we do unconsciously, surpassing very unstable in our being. His important creations were a source of wonder, of terror, colluding in creating an environment conducive to the expression of the most notable hold in life. Well look, why adherence to the pain and uncertainty, we find in us the feeling that they could put down, growing our subconscious, the product of a mind not merely full, viewed from only a few subjective viewpoints, disguised to our convenience . Discloses further with examples very emotional, touching the heart, and most of all awareness and moral, the latter aspect, supported by the great devotion felt by Dostoyevsky to the moral, sacred, religious. That is why his works rescues the morally good, what should be done, the alarm continued a life of debauchery. Shows us facets of passion, madness, a large number of feelings to the point of overflowing. Yet it is their works that are now part of the great library of world literature. The harmony of its realism, was the biggest relief to its readers, knowing of a people, knowing the possibilities of my other self, the knowledge of mankind.

Personal comment:

These are the big three: Balzac, Dickens and Dostoyevsky, the creators of the greatest spiritual worlds, contrasting each other, indomitable in his writings and his expression, paying in the art of creating us anxiety despair alone generates the most desired in being fleeting. Zweig is that offers us the life of their teachers, human life itself, but enlarged for the great gift of multiple persuasion, collective, creative movements and ideologies based on the product of the ambition and desire greatness, as shown by Balzac, in the subtlety of things of what life is, enlarged, combining framed by a culture-forming beings at their convenience, Dickens; of resignation to what is a destination, but opposition to startle your life, no actions that violate the established moral, the murderer of stalking instinct and suspense, Dostoyevsky. These are the profiles of teachers and their characters, their thinking and way of life, the reflection of the enigmatic personality of authors in each of his characters. Thus were immortalized, as the voice of human creativity, an inscrutable own creativity where you look, carrying a light, a lawn mower in its grandeur and terrifying in its origin, wrapped in a whirlpool, large and scrupulous full of prejudices, rape itself and other bigotry, humanity will, complex in every sense of the word, determined by a number of variables, adjacent to each other, united by a common force, unknown in many cases, but latent and sharp, lurking in the weaker, who apparently does not contribute to more than its very existence. It is humanity, the internal battles that are fought in it, the individual and collective emotional conflicts they generate, which imprison us in the obsession to know the truth, your truth, know every one of their masks, in an effort to cope and cleanse in one sense of unity, the value of life itself.
