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'.
