Product details

If you live on Ibiza, you have to travel. To the mainland, to Europe. And sometimes it's chance that leads the way, as in these chess novellas: Vicente Valero sets off four times, to Italy and Denmark,
to Zurich and Augsburg. Always in his luggage: the travelling chess inherited from an uncle. What begins light-heartedly, with games of chess and encounters with an open outcome, turns into a detective-like search for places where the lifelines of five European spirits intersect: Brecht and Benjamin at the chessboard in Svendborg in the summer of 1934 Nietzsche, shortly before his mental breakdown in Turin Kafka at the infamous reading in Munich in 1916, finally Rilke in the middle of the First World War, desperately trying to finish his magnum opus in Berg am Irschel in 1921. Written with a light hand, this is a profound European book.
