Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in the 19th century, delves into the fascinating history and mechanics behind one of history's most renowned automatons - the Chess Automaton, also known as the Turk.

Through this historical lens, the book explores the themes of illusion, deception, and the limits of human ingenuity, offering a unique perspective on the evolution of entertainment and the enduring fascination with the enigmatic.
