Le Joueur d'échecs

Le Joueur d'échecs is a single-issue comic from Éditions Sarbacane, launched in 2015, that adapts Stefan Zweig's classic novella of psychological tension and obsession. This French graphic novel distills the story of a mysterious chess prodigy and his confrontation with a former Nazi captive into a taut, visually driven narrative. Its concise format makes it a striking, standalone entry in Sarbacane's literary adaptation line.
