The café owner understands, as does everyone else, that Buchmendel is a contributor to, because he is a conservator of, civilization, and being a civilized man himself, he is honored to welcome him.
Buchmendel’s life has fallen apart, as has the civilization to which he was a valuable contributor; now homeless, he soon dies of pneumonia.

 The Invisible Collection Buchmendel : Reviews, Prices, Deals
I have no ideas why so little of Stefan Zweig's work is in print.
Of the two stories in this collection, the second, Buchmendel is harowing in its humanity and its prefiguring of the holocaust to come.
I fervently hope that Pushkin Press will bring out a futher collection of Zweig's stories, for all of those who hunger for more of his small masterpieces.

The existence of this slim volume baffles me. Alright, it is certainly true that Zweig's stories, many of which are absolutely marvelous, are in dire need of a re-release that would hopefully do something to alleviate their obscurity.

No three-deckers in his bibliography, but brief, incisive, elegant novelettes or novellas like CONFUSION, FEAR, THE INVISIBLE COLLECTION, BUCHMENDEL and THE ROYAL GAME – to mention only some I’ve read this past week and which are available in English.
As other have noted, the man is more than a good writer: most of the people who discover his work feel they’ve found a new friend.
I’ll leave you with the final words of his story BUCHMENDEL (and I apologize for my poor English translation of the French translation of the original German!): “Still I know that books were created to bind men beyond death and to protect us against life’s most ruthless foe: oblivion.”
