On a cruise ship bound for Buenos Aires, an electifying encounter takes place between the reigning world chess champion and an unknown passenger. The stranger’ s diffident manner masks his extraordinary ability to challenge the grandmaster in a game of chess; it also conceals his dark and damaged past, the horror of which emerges as the game unfolds.

Portrait

Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna, a member of a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a translator and later as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and enjoying literary fame. His stories and novellas were collected in 1934. In the same year, with the rise of Nazism, he briefly moved to London, taking British citizenship. After a short period in New York, he settled in Brazil where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in bed in an apparent double suicide.

Pressestimmen

Zweig possesses a dogged psychological curiosity, a brutal frankness, a supreme impartiality... [a] concentration of talents -- Herbert Gorman The New York Times Book Review Reviving his reputation as a major writer of the 20th century -- Chris Schuler The Independent A brilliant story about monomania -- Julie Kavanagh The Economist Intelligent Life To read Zweig is to be in the presence of a properly mature writer, for all that his characters are often in the grip of highly inappropriate desires -- Nicholas Lezard The Guardian This is powerful, brilliant, remarkable and compulsively readable stuff - beautifully presented by Pushkin Press -- Mark Thwaite ReadySteadyBook.com
