    About this ebook

    The one who invented the chess, understood the world’s works. He acknowledged the fact and founded the game on him, resulting in his game so popular. And the fact that he clearly recognized is that the king does not matter if your side is a victory. You can leave your king in your corner so you can entertain yourself. But at the very moment when you start to lose your figure, your king becomes a source of anxiety.

    Talbot Mundy

    Born in London in 1879, Talbot Mundy (1879-1940) was an American based author popular in the adventure fiction genre. Mundy was a well-traveled man, residing in multiple different countries in his lifetime. After being raised in London, Mundy first moved to British India, where he worked as a reporter. Then, he switched professions, moving to East Africa to become an ivory poacher. Finally, in 1909, Mundy moved to New York, where he began his literary career. First publishing short stories, Mundy became known for writing tales based on places that he traveled. After becoming an American citizen, Mundy joined the Christian science religious movement, which prompted him to move to Jerusalem. There he founded and established the first newspaper in the city to be published primarily in the English language. By the time of his death in 1940, Mundy had rose to fame as a best-selling author, and left behind a prolific legacy that influenced the work of many other notable writers.
