Discovering his prodigious gift in boyhood and rising to the rank of International Grandmaster, Luzhin develops a lyrical passion for chess that renders the real world a phantom. As he confronts the fiery, swift-swooping Italian Grandmaster Turati, he brings into play his carefully devised defence. Making masterly play of metaphor and imagery, The Luzhin Defense is the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses the greatest warmth'.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: FictionBook Series: Penguin Modern ClassicsTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
