Vladimir Nabokov's early novel is the dazzling story of the coarse,
strange yet oddly endearing chess-playing genius Luzhin. 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 Defense is
the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses
the greatest warmth'.
