"It zips through the story and the clear, bright drawings are a welcome addition and really bring their time in Brazil to life. The likenesses are excellent - not just of Zweig, but of other figures too, such as Freud and Joseph Roth. Its ambition is admirable. For those who don't know the story of Zweig's decline from international celebrity to suicidal refugee this is a friendly and easy introduction." David Herman, Jewish Renaissance "The compositions are full of splendour, Guillaume Sorel likes to play with space, and the movement between the past and the present is perfectly handled - Sorel creates a climate of uncertainty, with little pleasures here and there. He has staged the last struggle of Stefan Zweig with a remarkable sobriety and empathy." - Le Figaro "An extraordinary escape and a great work of art." - Salon Litteraire
