Summary

Qui est cet inconnu capable d'en remontrer au grand Czentovic, le champion mondial des échecs, véritable prodige aussi fruste qu'antipathique ? Peut-on croire, comme il l'affirme, qu'il n'a pas joué depuis plus de vingt ans ? Les circonstances dans lesquelles l'homme a acquis sa science du jeu sont terribles. Elles renvoient aux expérimentations nazies sur les effets de l'isolement absolu, lorsque, aux frontières de la folie, le cerveau humain parvient à déployer ses facultés les plus étranges.

Dans cette fable inquiétante parue en 1943, un an après son suicide, Zweig porte un regard désespéré sur une époque qui ne laisse comme alternative que la démence ou la mort.
Édouard Baer donne toute sa dimension à ce grand texte où l'angoisse est sans cesse à fleur de mots.
