What a great novel. Zweig’s prose never ceases to amaze me. From what I have gathered, it is not his best work, yet I loved it. Therefore I am incredibly excited for what is to come in my discovery of his works. 
medium-paced


I'm sorry, but there are only so many pages I can read about the movements and expressions hands and faces can do, without losing interest in the story.

Definitely not my cup of tea.

Me lo he terminado más pronto de lo que pensaba. Me ha recordado mucho a 'El jugador' de Dostoievski. Y me ha encantado la profundidad de las descripciones.
Pero siento que no es para mí. Creo que me gustará muchísimo más 'Novela de ajedrez'.
