Descrição
The Turk, as the automaton became known, was fashioned from wood, powered by clockwork and dressed in a stylish Turkish costume. But, most astonishing of all, it was capable of playing chess. The mechanical chess-player baffled spectators and provoked frenzied speculation. This book tells the story of its chequered career.
