"The Luzhin Defense" (1929) is Vladimir Nabokov's crowning achievement of the 1920s, his first great creative success, which brought him fame as the best young writer of the Russian emigration. Having demonstrated, in the words of Gleb Struve, "a magical mastery of the theme and material," Nabokov opened a new bright page in Russian literature with this novel.

The brilliant chess player Alexander Luzhin, who lives more in the world of his abstract and strict art than in real Berlin, discovers what can be called the combinatorial principle of being. Unsuccessfully trying to unravel the "moves of fate" and interrupt their ominous repetition, he ceases to understand where the game ends and life itself begins, against the inexorable circumstances of which he is defenseless.
