This novel reconstructs the last seven tumultuous years of the world champion's life. We meet the Belgian Akiba Rubinstein, who lived in Uccle during the war. A skilful blend of biography and breathtaking novel.
Just as in Zweig's novella, Nazi totalitarianism is in the background. The novelist centers his story on the articles Alekhine is said to have written during the Second World War.
