    The book of Gennady Sosonko is devoted to the fate of the outstanding chess player David Ionovich Bronshtein. Bronstein's peak occurred in the middle of the last century, when he challenged Botvinnik himself and almost overpowered him, but this "almost" inflicted him a wound that never healed until the end of his life. The author has repeatedly met and talked with Bronstein, and these conversations have not only recreated the thoughts and character of one of the most original grandmasters of the past, but they also bring us back to times that are not simply found in world history. Not being a biography in the classical sense of the word, Sosonko's book, which is read in one breath, goes beyond the limits of the hero's biography, posing eternal questions, to which there is no unambiguous answer.
