His first literary works, Novellen um Claudia (1913) and Ritualmord in Ungarn, gained him wider recognition. He was especially influenced by Friedrich Nietzsche's philosophy. (He is not related to Stefan Zweig.) After attending a gymnasium in Kattowitz ( Katowice), he made extensive studies in history, philosophy and literature at several universities – Breslau ( Wrocław), Munich, Berlin, Göttingen, Rostock and Tübingen.
Zweig was born in Glogau, Prussian Silesia (now Głogów, Poland), the son of a Jewish saddler. He is best known for his six-part cycle on World War I.
Arnold Zweig (10 November 1887 – 26 November 1968) was a German Jewish writer, pacifist and socialist.
