from Ra in Wonderland · host Ra Selin Turhan

In this episode of Ra in Wonderland, we step aboard a quiet cruise ship and enter the haunting world of Stefan Zweig’s final novella, Chess Story. This isn’t just a tale about chess—it’s a psychological journey through solitude, obsession, and the fragile power of the human mind.♟️♟️♟️How do we survive isolation? What happens when our thoughts become too loud? And how can something as simple as a board game help us hold onto sanity—or lose it entirely?Join me as I reflect on Dr. B’s story, the tension between mind and madness, and the delicate balance we all walk between resilience and breakdown.☕ Thoughtful, emotional, and deeply human—this episode invites you to explore the quiet wars we fight within ourselves.
