Chess Story

Stefan Zweig

A ship voyage from New York to Buenos Aires turns into a battle of wits when the world chess champion is discovered on board. Though arrogant and unfriendly, the champion is defeated only by a mysterious passenger who has unearthly chess abilities. Stefan Zweig's final work, Chess Story explores psychology and poses the question: at what cost does true genius come? This new translation deftly balances suspense and reflection.
