La actualidad de los grandes autores, como Montaigne, es permanente y múltiple. Pero Stefan Zweig, en un momento en que se ciernen sobre él el drama de la guerra y una íntima y trágica desesperanza, fija su atención en un elemento que es fundamental en el autor de Los ensayos: el esfuerzo por mantener a salvo la propia independencia en una sociedad cada vez más brutal y gregaria. El texto de Zweig sobre Montaigne no es un frío estudio destinado a especialistas, sino una obra emocionada y vibrante dirigida al público habitual del autor vienés.

"Was, um Himmels willen, hat mich bloß ins gleißende Scheinwerferlicht getrieben, mitten unter die Showwölfe? Eigentlich bin ich doch mehr der gemütliche, tapsige Typ und überhaupt keine Rampensau. Warum wollte ich also bereits im zarten Kindesalter mit aller Macht "berühmt werden"? Und wieso hat das dann tatsächlich geklappt? Nun, vielleicht einfach deshalb, weil ich es meiner Oma als sechsjähriger Knirps genau so versprechen musste.

Quando usciva dal Cinema Mirone, quel tornado di ragazzina si sentiva Jean Gabin dalla testa ai piedi. Ribelle, appassionata, braccata come lui, con una sigaretta immaginaria all'angolo delle labbra, Goliarda girava per la casbah di Catania come Jean per quella di Algeri.

È un tassello di quella che Goliarda Sapienza chiamava "autobiografia delle contraddizioni".
