About the Author

Ao Di Li Si Di Fen·Ci Wei Ge, born in 1902 in Vienna to a prominent Jewish family, was a distinguished Austrian writer, journalist, and cultural critic whose life spanned the tumultuous upheavals of 20th-century Europe. Educated in law and philosophy, he initially pursued a career in journalism before the rise of Nazism forced him into exile in 1938, leading him to wander through England, the United States, and eventually settle in New York. His works poignantly capture the fragility of civilization amid political and social collapse, blending personal memoir with sharp intellectual insight. Best known for 'Yesterday's World: Memories of a European (Chinese version),' a reflective autobiography chronicling his youth in the fading grandeur of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Si Di Fen·Ci Wei Ge's writing endures as a testament to the lost world of pre-war Europe and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
