Krátký popis
When it is discovered that the reigning world chess champion, Mirko
Czentovic, is on board a cruiser heading for Buenos Aires, a fellow
passenger challenges him to a game. Czentovic easily defeats him,
but during the rematch a mysterious Austrian, Dr B., intervenes
and, to the surprise of everyone, helps the underdog obtain a draw.
When, the next day, Dr B. confides in a compatriot travelling on
the same ship and decides to reveal the harrowing secret behind his
formidable chess knowledge, a chilling tale of imprisonment and
psychological torment unfolds. Stefan Zweig's last and most famous
story, 'A Game of Chess' was written in exile in Brazil and
explores its author's anxieties about the situation in Europe
following the rise of the Nazi regime. The tale is presented here
in a brand-new translation, along with three of the master
storyteller's most acclaimed novellas: Twenty-four Hours in the
Life of a Woman, The Invisible Collection and Incident on Lake
Geneva.
