Description
Stefan Zweig’s classic novella of obsession, madness and chess In 1941 a cruise ship is heading to Buenos Aires, and on board a group of eager passengers challenge the reigning world chess champion to a match. At first they lose pitifully, until a kind stranger aids by whispering instructions to them – he is a masterful chess player, and as they play, the game itself draws the stranger closer and closer to its secrets. Stefan Zweig’s acclaimed novella Chess is a disturbing, intensely dramatic depiction of the cost of obsession, set in a Central Europe traumatized by the psychological influence of Nazism. —- ISBN: 9780241305164 | ISBN10: 0241305160 | ISBN-13: 978-0241305164
