Synopsis "Schachnovelle (in German)"

"An Bord eines Passagierdampfers von New York nach Buenos Aires wird die spannendste Schachpartie der Literaturgeschichte gespielt. Es beginnt als harmloser Zeitvertreib unter Passagieren, doch bei Dr. B. ruft es traumatische Erinnerungen wach. Perfide Foltermethoden der Gestapo haben bei dem ehemaligen Vermögensverwalter des österreichischen Adels und Klerus irreparable Schäden hinterlassen." Gröls-Verlag (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

(Vienna, 1881 – Petrópolis, Brazil, 1942) a very popular writer, both as an essayist and biographer as well as a novelist, he was one of the most versatile writers of the first half of the 20th century. His narrative ability, skill, and delicacy in describing feelings and the elegance of his style make him a fascinating storyteller. He was associated with the great authors of his time: Rilke, Joseph Roth, Thomas Mann, H.G. Wells, Tagore, among others. After several decades in which his works were inexplicably ignored, Zweig has been rediscovered and currently enjoys the prestige and popularity that literary justice demanded.
