  After Andre Maurois's "Don Juan or the Life of Lord Byron" Stefan Zweig's "Mystery Byron" is probably an actual relief for a reader and the justification of the world famous poet in the eyes of the public. Zweig approves himself as a man of great generosity and an author with the purity of his intent. He does the best he can: in the hopeless darkness of accusations and backstairs gossiping about Byron, Zweig manages to find a tragic but fair and untained verity. Despite the fact, that this point of view may be blamed by some people on the romantic essence of the author or his having the eyes shut, one, in fact, may call it an attempt to resist and battle the vile rumours and the desire of the majority to drive the person's name into the dirt at the earliest opportunity as soon as any of his missteps or weaknesses come out and are made public. Like a genuine writer and a man of art, Zweig exalts the poetic talent, bravery, grandeur of character and the deepness of feelings in the great poet, rather than meddling and digging dirt. It is artistic endeavours and the poet's ability to be self-sacrificing in the name of the beloved person that S. Zweig brings into view, leaving behind the innumerable scandals and idle talks without a solid foundation. This short story is the thing I feel so overwhelmingly grateful for, as it's not only that Stefan Zweig has protected George Gordon Byron and has cleared his name, leaving the fond memory about him for himself and the readers, but he's also succeeded in reviving faith in the best a man may be endowed with and that's how he ignites the light of hope in our souls throughout his honour and advertence.
