Hansen, Brooks The Chess Garden or The Twilight Letters of Gustav Uyterhoeven Gordonsville, Virginia, U.S.A. Farrar Straus & Giroux 1995 0374160155 / 9780374160159 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Jacket Hyman, Miles In the fall of 1900, Dr. Gustav Uyterboeven left the chess garden that he and his wife, Sonja, had created together in Dayton, Ohio, and traveled to South Africa to serve as a doctor in the British concentration camps of the Boer War. Over the next ten months he sent twelve chess pieces and twelve letters back to Sonja. She set out her husband's gifts as they arrived and welcomed all the most faithful guests of the garden to come and hear what he had written - letters which told nothing of his experience of the camps but described an imagined land called Antipodes, where all the game pieces that cluttered the sets and drawers of the garden collection came to life to guide the doctor through his fateful and wondrous last adventure. History and allegory are expertly woven until finally both lead back to the chess garden itself, a place where ideas give way to vision, reason meets faith, and fact and figment are finally reconciled. 481 pages. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
