Descrizione
偶爾有一些穿著體面的夫婦會來到這裡,牽著幸運的女孩離開,但更多人像貝絲一樣,知道自己永遠也離不開。幸好大多數的時候日子還過得去,她每天可以領兩次安定心神的小藥丸,禮拜二算術課結束後,她會到地下室清理板擦,順便看工友薛波先生玩那個叫做「西洋棋」的神秘遊戲。
一開始她只是靜靜地在旁觀看,然後在失眠的夜裡,將寢室的天花板化作棋盤,在腦海中演繹自己的棋局。貝絲的心隨著棋盤上的黑白棋子起舞,它們接納她的靈魂,她的靈魂也接納了它們。
「女孩子不下棋。」薛波先生起初對貝絲不以為然,直到她第一次戰勝了他,然後是高中圍棋社老師、地區西洋棋大師……回過神來,她已展開美國國際西洋棋公開賽冠軍的角逐。然而伴隨著獎金和名氣而來的,卻是如影隨形的孤獨和藥物成癮的夢魘。她能戰勝心魔,下好「人生」這一盤棋嗎?

Recensioni
Visualizza tuttoThis book is so intense and gripping that I just couldn't put it down. I love the way this book has been written. Throughout the whole entire book, you can really feel the emotions of each character and the events they all participate in. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes chess. Tevis uses the chess terminology and his storytelling so well that it makes you feel like playing the game itself.
