The Defense "aka The Luzhin Defense" by Vladimir Nabokov
FIRST U.S. PAPERBACK PRINTING [1964] POPULAR LIBRARY
Very nice reading copy. Cover shows wear and creasing. Binding is tight and pages are clean and read nicely.
A chilling story of obsession and madness. Luzhin, a distracted, withdrawn boy, takes up chess as a refuge from everyday life. As he rises to the heights of grandmaster, the game of chess gradually supplants the world of reality as he moves inexorably towards madness.
