Stefan Zweig-Chess
Undoubtedly Stefan Zweig is one of the writers who reflects human emotions and handles them deeply. I can say that after reading Metamorphosis (I mentioned it to everyone and made a review of ), I couldn’t escape from its influence, and cannot still. It mentioned the value of human beings. It emphasized Gregor himself. Franz Kafka depicted the protagonist, Gregor as a ghost to reveal whether Gregor thinks of himself or considers what people say.

Maybe if he couldn’t find the chess book in the pocket of the guard, despair and loneliness would bring about madness!
---“Was that chess or madness in the cell?!” I think that there would not be any problem if the passion did not turn to jeopardy, and they do not symbolize the worst moments.
