Sakknovella, Book Mendel - Audiobook (3CD)

Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) became world famous as a sensitive literary interpreter of Freudian psychoanalysis. The Book Mendel is about a little man who can get all the books and who is losing the thread of his life because of this passion. But this narrative is also about a bitter realization, the disappearance of the magical world of coffee shops, which remains mysterious and elusive to all who could no longer live. Sakknovella is also Zweig's last and most mature work. Vienna during the German occupation. The Gestapo detains Dr. Bt, who, in order to keep his spirit fresh, begins to “play chess” under the circumstances. However, this leads to a kind of chess poisoning. Soon after, he himself is surprised to go into a party against the almost robotic world champion Mirko Czentovic. Maybe because you want to know if that game, then in the cell, was still in chess or already in the craze itself.
