Story4.5 out of 5 stars 2,431
 Eight-year-old orphan Beth Harmon is quiet, sullen, and by all appearances unremarkable. That is, until she plays her first game of chess. Her senses grow sharper, her thinking clearer, and for the first time in her life she feels herself fully in control. By the age of 16, she's competing for the US Open championship. But as Beth hones her skills on the professional circuit, the stakes get higher, her isolation grows more frightening, and the thought of escape becomes all the more tempting. -

Jusqu'au jour où un homme solitaire, Paul, apprend à lire grâce à un vieil enregistrement. -

 Walter Tevis is widely regarded as a master for both his gritty poolhall novels and his brilliant rendering of the world of competitive chess. This long overdue collection establishes Tevis's rightful place as a maestro of the short form, as well. Bringing together the 1981 short story collection Far From Home with a host of other previously unpublished stories from journals and magazines, this entertaining collection showcases Tevis's characteristic perceptiveness, empathy, and range. -

 "Spottefuglens" verden er en fremtid, hvor mennesket frivilligt har afgivet sin frihed til maskiner og robotter, og hvor selvtilfredsstillelse har erstattet almindeligt menneskeligt samkvem, kærlighed og venskab. Det er en stagnerende, døende verden uden børn, uden kunst, uden udvikling. "Spottefuglen" handler om to mennesker, Paul og Mary Lou, som møder hinanden, forelsker sig og sammen begynder at opdage og udforske en tidligere tids tabte værdier og glemte følelser. -

 Mit acht entdeckt Beth Harmon im Waisenhaus zwei Möglichkeiten, der harten Realität zu entfliehen: die grünen Beruhigungspillen, die den Kindern täglich verabreicht werden. Und Schach. Das Mädchen ist ein Ausnahmetalent und gewinnt Turnier um Turnier, mit 16 spielt sie gegen lauter erwachsene Männer um die US-Meisterschaft. Ihr Weg führt steil nach oben, doch bei jedem Schritt droht der Abgrund von Sucht und Selbstzerstörung. Denn für Beth steht viel mehr auf dem Spiel als Sieg und Niederlage. -

 Eddie Felson est une énigme. On rapporte des parties de billard extraordinaires, un joueur au talent incroyable. Seulement, personne ne l'a jamais vu tirer. Le bruit court qu'il veut s'attaquer à Chicago, mais ses faits d'armes sont remis en question par Grand John, vétéran de l'académie Bennington. -

 Thomas Jerome Newton ist ein geheimnisvoller Mann. Wie aus dem Nichts taucht der seltsame Fremde in Kentucky auf und scheint eine Mission zu haben. Mit neuartigen Technologien verdient er in kurzer Zeit Millionen und zieht dabei viel Misstrauen auf sich – aber auch das Interesse des Wissenschaftlers Nathan Bryce und der jungen Betty Jo. Während sie schnell Gefühle für Newton entwickelt, fragt sich Nathan, ob hinter dem Unbekannten mehr steckt, als auf Anhieb zu erkennen ist. -

 Auf den ersten Blick könnte man Fast Eddie Felson für einen mittelmäßigen Billardspieler mit einem ehrlichen Lächeln und locker sitzender Brieftasche halten. Liegen aber die großen Scheine auf dem Tisch, zeigt Eddie sein ganzes Können und zockt seine Gegner gnadenlos ab. Doch die Chicagoer Billardlegende Minnesota Fats ist ein anderes Kaliber. Fast Eddie riskiert mehr als nur sein Geld und geht einen Pakt ein, um das Spiel seines Lebens zu spielen. -
