{"product_id":"luzhin-defense","title":"Luzhin Defense","description":"Vladimir Nabokov's early novel is the dazzling story of the coarse, strange yet oddly endearing chess-playing genius Luzhin. Discovering his prodigious gift in boyhood and rising to the rank of International Grandmaster, Luzhin develops a lyrical passion for chess that renders the real world a phantom. As he confronts the fiery, swift-swooping Italian Grandmaster Turati, he brings into play his carefully devised defence. Making masterly play of metaphor and imagery, \u003ci\u003eThe Luzhin Defense\u003c\/i\u003e is the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses the greatest warmth'.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220807635288,"sku":"9780141185989","price":16.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780141185989_ac499be6-357a-48f9-b2a1-1625efcfba02.jpg?v=1767850217","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/luzhin-defense","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
