The Queen 's Gambit

Since its first publication in 1983, this novel became a cult book for chess players in particular and lovers of the great American novel in general. A secret that suddenly exploded at the end of 2020 with the premiere of the series based on this story, conquering the entire world in record time.

Beth Harmon, the protagonist, is already an icon in the minds of millions of Lady's Gambit fans: orphan, lonely, multi-drug addict, competitive, fragile, great.

She is a chess Mozart whose intelligence brings her both successes and problems.

This novel, addictive, fast-paced, and with a tension that does not decline in each game, in each trip, in each moment of abandonment of the protagonist, which always oscillates between success and the abyss, will remain in the hearts of the readers. And it will also serve as an introduction to the world of chess, which, like Beth Harmon, seems calm and accessible, but contains a volcano of passions and dangers underneath.
