by Terence Tiller based upon the novel by Vladimir Nabokov
with Ian Holm
Nabokov himself said that Luzhin, the central character of his book, has been found lovable even by those who understand nothing about chess and/or detest all his other books.
'He is uncouth, unwashed, uncomely, but there is something in him that transcends both the coarseness of his grey flesh and the sterility of his recondite genius.'

3: The Border of Horror
The East Germans call it ' the anti-Fascist Defence Wall '. The West Germans have a shorter and pithier term for it. They call it the Schreckensgrenze - the ' Border of Horror'.
Erik de Mauny recently followed the whole course of the inter-German border, from north to south, to discover what effect this grotesque division has had on people living in the border region. where many families have been split and whole villages cut in two or severed from their natural hinterland. Since 1972. there have been some improvements with greater facilities for exchanges or visits. But the East German Communist regime continues to add lethal refinements to the border fence.
