Title : The Chess Player - Stefan Zweig - book
Summary :
Who is this stranger capable of outwitting the great Czentovic, the world chess champion, a true prodigy as unsophisticated as he is unpleasant? Can anyone believe, as he claims, that he hasn't played for over twenty years? This is a mystery that the idle passengers of this luxury liner would like to unravel. The narrator will succeed. The circumstances in which the stranger acquired this knowledge are terrible. They take us back to the Nazi experiments on the effects of absolute isolation, when, on the verge of madness, between two interrogations, the human brain manages to deploy its strangest faculties. A disturbing, fantastic fable, which, as the character says with painful irony, "could serve as an illustration of the charming times in which we live."

Title : A Thousand White Women - Jim Fergus - book Summary :
2000 First Foreign Novel Prize
REVIVAL OF ONE OF THE BIGGEST BESTSELLERS OF THE LAST DECADE
In 1875, a Cheyenne chief asked President Grant for a gift of 1,000 white women to marry to 1,000 of his warriors to promote integration. Taking this historical fact as his starting point, Jim Fergus retraces through the personal diaries of one of these white women, May Dodd, the adventures in the wild lands of the West of these women, most of whom were recruited from prisons or psychiatric asylums. It is at once a magnificent portrait of a woman that he offers us, a love song for the Indian people, and an unequivocal condemnation of the Indian policy of the American government of the time. This fabulously romantic epic, which is part of the great tradition of the American Western saga, was an event when it was published in the United States. It was praised by the greatest American writers. The rights to this book were purchased by Hollywood. A Thousand White Women inaugurates foreign literature at Cherche Midi publisher.
