Negat per qualsevol altra activitat intel·lectual, Mirko Czentovicz va revelar-se des de nen com un geni dels escacs, i ara n'és el campió del món. Però, en un viatge de Nova York a Buenos Aires, li sorgeix un contrincant enigmàtic: el senyor B., un noble vienès que fuig dels nazis. Un dels passatgers del vapor prova d'acostar-se a tots dos personatges, i així, junt amb ell, el lector en descobreix les històries i assiteix a la seva confrontació. En aquesta "Novel·la d'escacs", doncs, se'ns presenta, d'una banda, l'enfrontament de dues naturaleses antagòniques i, de l'altra, la fragilitat i la força de la persona sotmesa a una pressió extraordinària. I tot això, en una història construïda amb art de mestre i amb bones dosis d'intriga. "Les seixanta-quatre caselles i les trenta-dues peces són l'escenari d'un terrible malson que Zweig descriu amb total exactitud i sense concessions". Julià Guillamon, Avui "Novel·la d'escacs, l'últim llibre que escrigué Zweig, és l'exacerbació d'algun dels millors moments de la seva extensa obra". Marc Soler, La Vanguardia "Un text molt intel·ligent. Zweig va ser molt savi en abordar el tema a partir d'una partida d'escacs, perquè ens remet al fet que som éssers pensants i ens porta a preguntar-nos quin ús fem de la nostra intel·ligència". Jordi Bosch "Un relat en el qual els escacs es converteixen en una metàfora de la nostra capacitat per intentar sobreviure quan tot sembla conduir-nos cap a l'aniquilació i/o la bogeria". Ramon Oliver, La Vanguardia "Un singularíssim estudi psicològic sobre el teló de fons de l'Alemanya nazi". Joaquín Aranda, Heraldo de Aragón "Les paraules de Zweig fan especialment bé". Pilar Martín, Levante "Escrit en plena Segona Guerra Mundial i una de les obres mestres d'aquest subgènere literari". Carlos Sala, La Razón "Stefan Zweig ens deixa en aquest relat una exquisida pinzellada del seu art narratiu". Antonio Ortega, Diario de Córdoba "Una bella metàfora sobre la claudicació de la intel·ligència creadora enfront de la força bruta que, fent servir una lògica freda i corretjosa, es converteix en imparable piconadora". Eugenio Fuentes, La Nueva España "És un llibre que representa molt bé la crisi de valors d'una Europa que, just abans de la solució final, veu que els valor que la sustenten no acaben de funcionar. I encara som allà". Iván Morales "Novel·la curta, possiblement una de les millors de la seva creació, en la qual ofereix al lector el seu compromís crític contra el nazisme. Tota una lliçó d'ètica i principis del misteriós personatge, el senyor B.". Francisco Vélez Nieto, ACE Andalucia "Novel·la sobre els escacs? No. Novel·la sobre la tortura, el mal subtil, la vida com un somni, la construcció de vies de fuita vitals, l'observació? Sens dubte. I no arriba al centenar de pàgines". Francisco García Pérez, La Nueva España "Suggeridora metàfora sobre el moment històric i reflexió sobre la validesa del coneixement". Pedro Sorela, Revista de Libros "Zweig narra, en realitat, una història de supervivència". J. Bordes, El Punt Avui "Un relat de cicatrius emocionals i obsessions". Juan Carlos Olivares, Time Out

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.

An epic chess match on a transatlantic liner unearths a story of persecution and obsession. One of the most perfectly gripping novellas from a master of the form, Stefan Zweig. Chess world champion Mirko Czentovic is travelling on an ocean liner to Buenos Aires. Dull-witted in all but chess, he entertains himself on board by allowing others to challenge him in the game, before beating each of them and taking their money. But there is another passenger with a passion for chess: Dr B, previously driven to insanity during Nazi imprisonment by the chess games in his imagination. But in agreeing to take on Czentovic, what price will Dr B ultimately pay? A moving portrait of one man's madness, A Chess Story is a searing examination of the power of the mind and the evil it can do. Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) was born in Vienna, into a wealthy Austrian-Jewish family. He studied in Berlin and Vienna and was first known as a poet and translator, then as a biographer. Zweig travelled widely, living in Salzburg between the wars, and was an international bestseller with a string of hugely popular novellas including Letter from an Unknown Woman, Amok and Fear. In 1934, with the rise of Nazism, he moved to London, where he wrote his only novel Beware of Pity. He later moved on to Bath, taking British citizenship after the outbreak of the Second World War. With the fall of France in 1940 Zweig left Britain for New York, before settling in Brazil, where in 1942 he and his wife were found dead in an apparent double suicide. Much of his work is available from Pushkin Press.

It's the 1930s. Christine, a young Austrian woman whose family has been impoverished by the war, toils away in a provincial post office. Out of the blue, a telegram arrives from an American aunt she's never known, inviting her to spend two weeks in a Grand Hotel in a fashionable Swiss resort. She accepts and is swept up into a world of almost inconceivable wealth and unleashed desire, where she allows herself to be utterly transformed. Then, just as abruptly, her aunt cuts her loose and she has to return to the post office, where - yes - nothing will ever be the same.

«(...) querer jugar contra uno mismo constituye en ajedrez una paradoja similar a querer saltar sobre la propia sombra». Cuando unos pasajeros descubren que el actual campeón mundial de ajedrez, Mirko Czentovic, está a bordo de un crucero que se dirige de Nueva York a Buenos Aires, un compañero de viaje lo reta a una partida. Czentovic, hombre arrogante y antipático para todos, lo derrota fácilmente, pero durante la revancha, un misterioso pasajero de origen austriaco, el Dr. B., interviene y, para sorpresa de todos, ayuda a que la partida llegue a tablas. Cuando, al día siguiente, el Dr. B. confía el secreto acerca de cómo llegó a poseer su extraordinaria comprensión del ajedrez, el relato se desarrolla en una sorprendente historia de encierro y obsesión psicológica. «Uno apenas sabe por dónde comenzar a alabar la obra de Zweig». Ali Smith

En els primers albors de la Gran Guerra, el tinent Anton Hofmiller rep una invitació per anar al castell del magnat hongarés Lajos von Kekesfalva. Durant la seva estada, la filla de l'amfitrió, que pateix paràlisi crònica, s'enamora del jove oficial. Hofmiller, que només sent compassió per la jove Edith, decideix ocultar els seus veritables sentiments i li fa tenir esperances en una ràpida recuperació. Arriba fins i tot a prometre-s'hi, però no reconeix el seu nuviatge en públic. Com un criminal en la foscor, Hofmiller es refugiarà en la guerra, i en tornarà com un autèntic heroi. 'La impaciència del cor' és, sens dubte, un dels millors llibres de Zweig, un esglaiador retrat de la insondable naturalesa humana que atraparà el lector des de la primera pàgina.
