TITLE: Schachnovelle

More about it

AUTHOR: Stefan Zweig

DESCRIPTION: Ein als Schachspieler mäßig dilettierender Ich-Erzähler berichtet von seiner Begegnung mit dem Weltschachmeister Mirko Czentovic, den ein selbstgefälliger Millionär gegen Honorar zu einer Simultanpartie herausfordert. Ein fremder Herr, der österreichische Emigrant Dr. B., greift beratend in die hoffnungslos verfahrene Partie ein und rettet gegen den eiskalt operierenden Weltmeister ein schmeichelhaftes Remis. Dr. B., als Vermögensverwalter großer Klöster von der Gestapo verhaftet, hatte sich - in einem Hotelzimmer hermetisch von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten - vor nervlicher Zermürbung und geistiger Aushöhlung bewahrt, indem er Monate lang eine Sammlung von 150 Meisterpartien blind durchspielte und mit diesen intellektuellen Exerzitien jene Widerstandskraft zurückgewann, die ihm die täglichen Verhöre abverlangten.

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
