Description
After a loud success of his exhibition, a young talented sculptor leaves Paris for Rome for a few days. Instead of working there on a lecture to come, he sits on a restaurant terrace and plays chess with anyone who wants to challenge him.
A beautiful girl sits at his table. The granddaughter of a chess player who died in a concentration camp—she unexpectedly turns out to be a very dangerous opponent. As it turns out, she is genuinely interested in a certain chess game played during World War II.
Mutual attraction arises instantly…
Spring days in Rome, a mysterious stranger, and the omnipotence of memory—here, a love story intertwines closely with History itself.
Antoine Choplin is a well-known French poet and prose writer, author of two dozen books and recipient of prestigious awards. “The Italian Game” is Choplin’s first book published in Russian.
