David Sala's fully painted graphic adaptation of Stefan Zweig's 1943 novella "The Royal Game." Plus 16 pages of studies and sketches.
From the publisher:
1941. In the hushed lounges of an ocean liner on its way to Argentina, the world chess champion confronts in a final game a Viennese aristocrat, whose incredible mastery of the game was born in the lair of the tyranny.
This poignant and desperate denunciation of Nazi barbarism was the last story written by Stefan Zweig before his suicide.
Resume:
Les premiers pas furent un fiasco, je n'arrêtais pas de m'embrouiller, cinq, dix, vingt fois, je dus reprendre le début de la partie.
Mais j'avais tout mon temps... Moi, l'esclave du néant...
1941. Dans les salons feutrés d'un paquebot en route pour l'Argentine, le champion du monde d'échecs affronte lors d'une ultime partie un aristocrate viennois, dont l'incroyable maîtrise du jeu est née dans l'antre de la tyrannie.
Cette dénonciation poignante et désespérée de la barbarie nazie est le dernier texte écrit par Stefan Zweig avant son suicide.
