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, The Defense is the book that, of his early works, Nabokov felt 'contains and diffuses the greatest warmth'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780241720486\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 13.3 x 7.7 x 0.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Russian\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50131478479152,"sku":"Trans_9780241720486","price":375.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/71YTeux5CJL.jpg?v=1757595337","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/the-defense","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
