Garri Kasparov - J. Gajewski, G. Siwik

This Garry Kasparov - J. Gajewski, G. Siwik is a Polish-language chess biography that presents one of the game’s defining figures not only as a champion, but also as a public voice for human rights and civil liberties.

What the book covers

The authors place Garry Kasparov in a wider context than tournament play alone. He appears here as a chess legend, but also as a politician, patriot, visionary, humanitarian and global citizen. That makes the book relevant not only to chess fans, but also to readers looking for an engaging biography of someone who influenced both sport and public debate.

His work away from the board also receives attention. In May 2012, Kasparov was elected president of the Human Rights Foundation, and in 2013 he received a special award given to people known for defending human dignity and civil liberties.

Why read it?

This is a strong choice if you want to know Garry Kasparov better as a chess icon and as a figure whose influence reached far beyond the tournament hall. It also fits well in a home chess library and makes a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in biography or socially engaged public figures.
