Book excerpt: Chess Story, also known as The Royal Game, is the Austrian master Stefan Zweig’s final achievement, completed in Brazilian exile and sent off to his American publisher only days before his suicide in 1942. It is the only story in which Zweig looks at Nazism, and he does so with characteristic emphasis on the psychological. Travelers by ship from New York to Buenos Aires find that on board with them is the world champion of chess, an arrogant and unfriendly man. They come together to try their skills against him and are soundly defeated. Then a mysterious passenger steps forward to advise them and their fortunes change. How he came to possess his extraordinary grasp of the game of chess and at what cost lie at the heart of Zweig’s story. This new translation of Chess Story brings out the work’s unusual mixture of high suspense and poignant reflection.

Download or read book A Cultural History of Chess-players written by John Sharples and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This inquiry concerns the cultural history of the chess-player. It takes as its premise the idea that the chess-player has become a fragmented collection of images, underpinned by challenges to, and confirmations of, chess's status as an intellectually-superior and socially-useful game, particularly since the medieval period. Yet, the chess-player is an understudied figure. No previous work has shone a light on the chess-player itself. Increasingly, chess-histories have retreated into tidy consensus. This work aspires to a novel reading of the figure as both a flickering beacon of reason and a sign of monstrosity. To this end, this book, utilising a wide range of sources, including newspapers, periodicals, detective novels, science-fiction, and comic-books, is underpinned by the idea that the chess-player is a pluralistic subject used to articulate a number of anxieties pertaining to themes of mind, machine, and monster.

Download or read book The Chess Players written by Frances Parkinson Keyes and published by Ishi Press. This book was released on 2015-01-25 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chess Players is a historical novel based on the life of Paul Morphy, who is considered to have been the world chess champion and possibly the greatest chess player in the history of the game. However, this is not a book about the game of chess. There are no chess diagrams in this book, no moves, no positions, no opening traps or tricks on how to catch an unwary opponent. Rather, this book is about the players, the people who play chess. It was a popular book when it came out in 1960, spending several weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers List. Paul Charles Morphy was born on June 22, 1837 in New Orleans Louisiana. He learned the moves of chess simply by watching his uncle and father play. Nobody taught him the rules. By age 9 he was regarded as the best player in New Orleans. By age 21 he was regarded as the best chess player in the world. But then he quit chess and never played a serious game again. Ever since, players have wondered what ever happened to Paul Morphy. This book by Frances Parkinson Keyes is historical fiction. However, she went to great lengths to research her subject matter and ensure the historical, geographical, linguistic and even scientific accuracy of her writings. In 1959, while writing this book, she contacted David Lawson, who was recearching the Life of Paul Morphy. Lawson had been researching the Life of Morphy since 1938. Finally, in 1976, Lawson published Paul Morphy: Pride and Sorrow of Chess, the best biography of Morphy and the book Lawson had been working on for 38 years. Lawson was 89 years old when the book came out.
