"In the first dawn of the century, in the war year 1801, a little French caravel steers toward the West Indies, traversing the limitless ocean for forty days and forty nights. At that time, only the most courageous risk their lives on such an expedition, as English frigates prowl the seas, pursuing any Napoleonic banner as a coveted target. On the deck, among officers, adventurers, commissioners, and merchants, amid all the homeless of desire and fate, two female figures lean close together in terror as the waves surge overboard like greedy creatures, two sick and trembling figures (...). Occasionally, the young girl will sing old-fashioned romances in her feeble silver voice to console her mother and pretend a tranquillity that her own heart is unaware of. This fourteen-year-old blonde girl surrounded by international stars is Marceline Desbordes, better renowned as France's finest poet under her later double name, Marceline Desbordes-Valmore."

Biography
Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born into a Jewish commercial family in Vienna. He created poetry, stories, plays, and essays, all of which were burned by the Nazis in 1933. He resided in Salzburg from 1919 until 1934, then moved to England and then to Brazil in 1941. His epic works, like his historical miniatures and biographical works, made him famous. He deliberately put up his life in Petrópolis, Brazil, on February 23, 1942.
