A Game of Chess and Other Stories. New Translation - Peter James Bowman - książka
Producent: Alma Classics
In this unique compilation of short stories, the plot thickens aboard a cruiser bound for Buenos Aires when passengers discover that the world-renowned chess champion, Mirko Czentovic, is among them. A passenger takes on Czentovic in a match but is swiftly outplayed. However, during a subsequent rematch, an enigmatic Austrian known as Dr. B. steps in, surprisingly guiding the challenger to a draw. The intrigue deepens the following day as Dr. B. confides in a fellow traveler, unraveling the haunting story of his incarceration and the mental torment he endured, which endowed him with profound chess prowess. Stefan Zweig's final and most celebrated story, "A Game of Chess," written during his exile in Brazil, delves into his apprehensions concerning the European scenario under Nazi ascendance. This newly translated version is accompanied by three other significant novellas: "Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Woman," "The Invisible Collection," and "Incident on Lake Geneva," showcasing the narratives of one of literature's great storytellers.
