By the author who inspired Wes Anderson’s 2014 film, The Grand Budapest Hotel
Written as both a recollection of the past and a warning for future generations, The World of Yesterday recalls the golden age of literary Vienna—its seeming permanence, its promise, and its devastating fall.
Surrounded by the leading literary lights of the epoch, Stefan Zweig draws a vivid and intimate account of his life and travels through Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and London, touching on the very heart of European culture. His passionate, evocative prose paints a stunning portrait of an era that danced brilliantly on the edge of extinction.
This new translation by award-winning Anthea Bell captures the spirit of Zweig’s writing in arguably his most revealing work.

A wolf pup wandered in. He had no mother or father, both of which were dead.

Rules- There aren't many. Just don't fight with other members, and please, no s e x in camps... Postions- You recive positions if you are over 12 moons old. Wolves younger than that have many less privleges compaired to the wolves older than 12 moons. Here are the positions; Leader, leader's apprentice, profitess, medicine wolf, warrior, hunter, obea, regular member, scribes (this postion is given to wolves at 6 moons) gnaw wolves, and pups (for wolves under 6 moons) Other Things- wolves that are pver the age of 12 moons recive a postion and a den, dens are given by the leader. Wolves ages 6 moons to 12 moons recive the postion of 'scribe' and share a den with an older wolf, there job is to learn about the position and responsabilities of wolves over the age of 12 moons. Wolves under the age of 6 recive the postition of 'pup' and live with their parents, if they dont have parents, they live in the nursery and can be adopted by wolves over the age of 12 moons. Directory- results 3,5,6,7,8 and 11 is the main camp, result 2 i the huning grounds, 4 is the river, 9 in the lake, 10 is the ocean, 13 is food storage, 14 is pelt storage, 15 is gnaw wolf work area, 16 is the grave yard, and 17 is the nursery. TO JOIN THE PACK- Make sure you have read the rules and other things, come talk to the leader in the main camp, tell Daiblo what you look like, your age (in moons) gender, if you are looking for a mate, what position you want, your personalities, and anything else we might need to know. Thank You~ Daiblo McMenya
