Nabokov Vladimir Letters to Vera
No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer lasted longer than Vladimir Nabokov's. Vera Slonim shared his delight at the enchantment of life's trifles and literature's treasures, and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humour of any woman he had met. From their meeting in 1921, Vladimir's letters to his beloved Vera form a narrative arc that tells a forty-six year-long love story, and they are memorable in their entirety. Almost always playful, romantic, and pithy, the letters tell us much about the man and the writer; we see that Vladimir observed everything, from animals, faces, speech, and landscapes with genuine fascination.

Nabokov Vladimir Lettres a Vera
Vladimir Nabokov et sa femme Vera se sont rencontres en 1923, a Berlin, ou leurs familles avaient fui le pouvoir bolchevique. Tout au long du demi-siecle que dure leur mariage, ils ne sont separes que rarement, mais alors il lui ecrit abondamment. Dans cette correspondance a sens unique – Vera ayant detruit ses propres lettres –, on lit la passion de Nabokov pour sa femme, son quotidien dans le milieu de l’emigration russe a Berlin, les bouleversements auxquels tous deux sont confrontes dans leur vie materielle et affective, le denuement qui est le sien lors de ses debuts a Paris, l’interet croissant eveille par son ?uvre aupres des editeurs et d’un public eclaire, le soutien indefectible que lui apporte Vera. Ces lettres, outre ce qu’elles revelent sur l’homme, nous font decouvrir le laboratoire de l’ecrivain – son energie creatrice, la plethore de sujets qui surgissent et disparaissent, l’intensite de son travail – et l’on y reconnait l’originalite de son style : sa veine parodique, poetique, sa vivacite et ses jeux de mots. Par-dela le seul interet biographique, une jubilation de l’ecriture, une fantaisie enflammee et le fantome desirable de la femme qui inspira ces mots. Eric Chevillard, Le Magazine litteraire. Une correspondance hautement delectable, tant s’y deploient le style proprement enchanteur de l’ecrivain, la grace surnaturelle des details et des metaphores parfaites. Nathalie Crom, Telerama. Edition etablie par Olga Voronina et Brian Boyd. Traduit du russe et de l’anglais par Laure Troubetzkoy.

Nabokov Vladimir Invitation to a Beheading
Written in Berlin in 1934, Invitation to a Beheading contains all the surprise, excitement and magical intensity of a work created in two brief weeks of sustained inspiration. It takes us into the fantastic prison-world of Cincinnatus, a man condemned to death and spending his last days in prison not quite knowing when the end will come. Nabokov described the book as 'a violin in a void. The worldling will deem it a trick. Old men will hurriedly turn from it to regional romances and the lives of public figures ... The evil-minded will perceive in little Emmie a sister of little Lolita ... But I know a few readers who will jump up, ruffling their hair'.

Nabokov Vladimir Pale Fire. A Poem in Four Cantos by John Shade
Many think Pale Fire Vladimir Nabokov's greatest novel. At its heart beats the 999-line poem, "Pale Fire," penned by the distinguished American poet John Shade. This first-ever facsimile edition of the poem shows it to be not just a fictional device but a masterpiece of American poetry, albeit by an invented persona - "the greatest of invented poets," according to Nabokov's own accurate evaluation. This attractive box contains two booklets, the poem "Pale Fire" in a handsome pocket edition and the book of essays by renowned Nabokov authority Brian Boyd and poet R.S. Gwynn, as well as facsimiles of the index cards that John Shade (like his maker, Nabokov) used for composing his poem, printed exactly as Vladimir Nabokov described them. Artist Jean Holabird, who conceived the project, illustrates key details of the poem's pattern and pathos.

Nabokov Vladimir Original of Laura
The Original of Laura is Vladimir Nabokov's final, incredible unfinished novel in fragments. Dr Philip Wild, a man of brilliance, wit, fortune and tremendous bulk, is used to suffering humiliations at the hands of his wife, the younger, slender, and rudely promiscuous Flora. But in a novel, a 'maddening masterpiece' documenting her infidelities, written by one of her lovers and given to the doctor, she appears as My Laura. Dishonoured, Wild still finds pleasure in life, by indulging in self-annihilation, beginning with the removal of his toes. Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) was born in St Petersburg. He wrote his first literary works in Russian, but rose to international prominence as a masterly prose stylist for the novels he composed in English, most famously Lolita. Between 1923 and 1940 he published novels, short stories, plays, poems and translations in the Russian language and established himself as one of the most outstanding Russian emigre writers. Dmitri Nabokov was Vladimir Nabokov's son.
