Sinossi
Stefan Zweig scrisse Novella degli scacchi nel 1941, pochi mesi prima di suicidarsi, insieme con la seconda moglie, nella città brasiliana di Petropolis, il 22 febbraio 1942. La notizia della sua morte fu soffocata da quelle provenienti dai fronti di guerra e così anche la sua ultima, disperata protesta, non fu che un flebile grido, quasi inavvertibile nel frastuono di quegli anni. Nella Novella degli scacchi lo stato d’animo di abbandono, di infinita stanchezza, di rinuncia alla lotta, è prefigurato nella sconfitta di colui che rappresenta la sensibilità, l’intelligenza, la cultura per opera di un semianalfabeta, ottuso uomo-robot. E, a rendere ancora più crudele la disfatta dello spirito, Zweig scelse come terreno dello scontro una scacchiera. Dallo sfacelo della sua patria spirituale, l’Europa, Zweig non vuole salvare nemmeno il gioco degli scacchi, ormai appannaggio non più di uomini dotati di talento, estro, passione, ma di «campioni» come Czentovic, un rozzo quanto prodigioso accumulo di facoltà puramente meccaniche.

I detect strong parallels between reading a novel and the game of chess: there is the author sitting on one side, playing white, the reader on the other side, playing black; instead of the chess board and chess pieces there is the novel; the author’s opening chapter is the chess player’s opening, th Leggi tutto

”My pleasure in playing became a desire to play, a mania, a frenzy, which permeated not only my waking hours but gradually my sleep too. Chess was all I could think about, chess moves, chess problems were the only form my thoughts could take; sometimes I awoke with a sweaty brow and understood that Leggi tutto

‘ The more one limits oneself, the closer one is to the infinite; these people, as unworldly as they seem, burrow like termites into their own particular material to construct, in miniature, a strange and utterly individual image of the world. ’ Chess, the ‘Royal Game’, ‘ regally eschews the tyranny of Leggi tutto
We Are Never Alone With astounding concision in a short story about chess, Zweig outlines a profound psychological theory: that a human being’s greatest resource - the ability to reflect upon himself and his actions - is also his greatest vulnerability. Experience alone, without the capacity to refle Leggi tutto

Chess Story by Stefan Zweig Like most of Zweig’s work, this is a novella. For those uninterested in chess, very little of the story has to do with the details of the actual games played. The story is set on an ocean liner traveling from New York to Buenos Aires. Our narrator has only a passing interes Leggi tutto
