«Momentos estelares de la humanidad» is Stefan Zweig's collection of historical miniatures, published by Acantilado in hardback (286 pages, in Spanish).
Zweig brings together fourteen historical episodes turned into short narratives: the fall of Constantinople, the creation of Handel's Messiah, the composition of La Marseillaise, Balboa's discovery of the Pacific, the California gold rush, Scott's expedition to the South Pole and Lenin's return to Russia.
The work was first published in 1927 under the original title «Sternstunden der Menschheit»; this Spanish edition is from 2002.
For readers of history and non-fiction who prefer short, self-contained episodes over a continuous narrative.
Stefan Zweig was an Austrian writer. At the height of his literary career in the 1920s and 1930s, he was one of the most widely translated and popular writers in the world.
