Chess Player, Paperback Book, By: Stefan Zweig

How is the way to comprehend a work of fiction so small that it is almost transparent for its simplicity and clarity, and everything in it draws us into a labyrinth, and the writer deliberately heard his “chessboard". . About the Author: 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.
