It's a brilliant novella written just a year before the author's death by suicide. The story is mainly about a man tortured to near insanity during WWII and mastered the game while attempting to survive torture by the Nazis. That was incredibly well written. Emotional and thought-provoking. A brilliant piece of literature that will give one a lot of psychological insights.

People and events don't disappoint us, our models of reality do. It is my model of reality that determines my happiness or disappointments.
