DESCRIPTION : '... a human being, an intellectual human being who constantly bends the entire force of his mind on the ridiculous task of forcing a wooden king into the corner of a wooden board, and does it without going mad!'A group of passengers on a cruise ship challenge the world chess champion to a match. At first, they crumble, until they are helped by whispered advice from a stranger in the crowd - a man who will risk everything to win. Stefan Zweig's acclaimed novella Chess is a disturbing, intensely dramatic depiction of obsession and the price of genius.PRODUCT DETAILS : ISBN : 9780241305164 BY (AUTHOR) Zweig, Stefan, TRANSLATED BY Bell, Anthea PUBLISHER : Penguin Books Ltd PUBLICATION DATE : June 01, 2017 COUNTRY OF PUBLICATION : United Kingdom IMPRINT : Penguin Classics LANGUAGE : English AGE : General PRODUCT FORM : Paperback / softback DIMENSION : 196 mm x 128 mm WEIGHT : 84 g SERIES : Penguin Modern Classics PRODUCT CATEGORY : Fiction & Related items
