Introducing Little Clothbound Classics irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the worlds greatest writers, designed by the awardwinning Coralie BickfordSmithCelebrating the range and diversity of Penguin Classics, they take us from snowy Japan to springtime Vienna, from haunted New England to a sundrenched Mediterranean island, and from a game of chess on the ocean to a love story on the moon. Beautifully designed and printed, these collectible editions are bound in colourful, tactile cloth and stamped with foil. A group of passengers on a cruise ship challenge the world chess champion to a match. At first, they crumble, until they are helped by whispered advice from a stranger in the crowd a man who will risk everything to win. Stefan Zweigs acclaimed novella Chess is a disturbing, intensely dramatic depiction of obsession and the price of the past.
