Chess: A Novel

English

By (author): Stefan Zweig

Translated by: Anthea Bell

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith

Celebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil.

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 the past.

About Stefan Zweig

Stefan Zweig was born in 1881 in Vienna to a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. Recognition as a writer came early for Zweig; by the age of forty he had already won literary fame. In 1934 with Nazism entrenched Zweig left Austria for England and became a British citizen in 1940. In 1941 he and his second wife went to Brazil where they committed suicide. Zweig's best-known works of fiction are Beware of Pity (1939) and Chess (1942) but his most outstanding accomplishments were his many biographies which were based on psychological interpretation.
