Raymond Keene OBE is uniquely placed to write up the interaction between the two titans of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, Napoleon Bonaparte and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The former was the most powerful statesman and warrior the world had ever witnessed up to that time; the latter was the epitome of European culture, with his Faust epic considered the greatest creation of German literature. Both loved the game of chess.
