{"product_id":"defense","title":"Defense","description":"Vladimir Nabokov's early novel is the dazzling story of the coarse, strange yet oddly endearing chess-playing genius Luzhin. Discovering his prodigious gift in boyhood and rising to the rank of International Grandmaster, Luzhin develops a lyrical passion for chess that renders the real world a phantom. As he confronts the fiery, swift-swooping Italian Grandmaster Turati, he brings into play his carefully devised defence. Making masterly play of metaphor and imagery, \u003ci\u003eThe Defense\u003c\/i\u003e is the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses the greatest warmth'.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Defense","offer_id":44473150570693,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-241-72048-6.jpg?v=1739499057","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/defense","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
