Description:

This Turkish edition of The Royal Game (Satranç) is published by Panama Yayıncılık. The novella is written by Stefan Zweig, one of the most acclaimed European authors of the twentieth century.

The story takes place aboard an ocean liner where passengers encounter Mirko Czentovic, the reigning world chess champion. During the voyage, a mysterious passenger known as Dr. B. astonishes everyone with his extraordinary chess abilities. As the two men face each other across the chessboard, Dr. B.'s tragic past gradually emerges. Having endured prolonged isolation and psychological torment during imprisonment, he turned to chess as a means of preserving his sanity. The novella explores the effects of loneliness, obsession, mental endurance, and the struggle to maintain one's identity under extreme conditions.

Stefan Zweig was renowned for his psychological insight and elegant prose. Forced into exile during the rise of Nazism, he wrote extensively about human emotions, moral dilemmas, and the fragility of civilization. Satranç, completed shortly before his death, is widely regarded as one of his finest and most powerful works.

This Panama Yayıncılık edition presents a Turkish translation of Zweig’s celebrated novella, a timeless work that combines psychological depth with the intellectual drama of chess.
