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.

原來The Royal Game就是Chess 130407中文版 剛開篇的時候還想說他怎麼寫這麼多象棋選手的...時隔多年隻記得梗概和被切斷繩索的潛水員的比喻 "a weapon against the oppressive monotony of my own space and time"的部分反倒完全不記得瞭 還是一樣的suffocating.
評分可以和阿城的棋王一起看 講DR.B在監獄裏的經曆 描寫神瞭 特彆是偷書那一段 和在腦海裏兩個自己下棋那一段 到現在纔懂茨威格天纔的地方
評分eine der besten Novellen der Welt
評分偷書那段直接看跪下瞭……拿到書居然還不是直接如飢似渴地開始看,還要憧憬一下書裏的內容,打開書後盡管失望最終卻仍然將心裏無盡的空虛和恨轉換成瞭病態的狂熱……最後看犯病那段急得一目十行差點以為要跳海……
評分自己和自己下棋那一段太精彩瞭!
