Beskrivelse
The Queen's Gambit tells the story of a gifted young chess player navigating a challenging life. From an orphanage to the top of the US chess scene, Beth Harmon fights to find her place while struggling with personal demons.
A gripping tale of talent, survival, and the complex battle within.
Written by the author of The Hustler, this modern classic follows Beth Harmon, a troubled chess prodigy. At just eight years old, she is placed in an orphanage where she discovers two brief escapes from her harsh reality: the game of chess and the small green pills given to the children to keep them calm.
As Beth’s extraordinary skill becomes clear, she rises through the ranks of American chess, building a new life for herself. However, her journey is complicated by a persistent urge to self-destruct, making the stakes much higher than simply winning or losing on the board.
