Stefan Zweig’s Schachnovelle: Semiotics of the border
Abstract
The scope of the study is an analysis of Schachnovelle (The Royal Game) by Stefan Zweig, focusing on the opposition between two topics: (1) cultural x\borders and conflicts and (2) intellectual cosmopolitism.
The analysis is based on a semiotic approach, compared with the knowledge provided by literary criticism.
As a result of this, the paper tries to cast a new light on Zweig’s place in literature. In particular, his progressive view on peace avoids the risks related to every kind of “professional reformism” and thus is still interesting nowadays.
