Nabokov’s Dozen by Vladmir Nabokov
Requirements: Any .ePUB reader, 2.1MB
Overview: A BAKER’S DOZEN of fiction by a modern master that spans the twentieth century from the last days of the Czars, to the Bolshevik Revolution, Nazi Germany, and contemporary middle-class America. Looking back nostalgically to the past and ahead to the future age of scientific miracles, Vladimir Nabokov makes each of the characters in these stories—young lovers, a forgotten poet, a Russian movie producer, a tragic butterfly collector—come vividly alive.
From the writer who shocked and delighted the world with his novels Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, or Ardor, and so many others, comes a magnificent collection of stories. Written between the 1920s and 1950s, these sixty-five tales—eleven of which have been translated into English for the first time—display all the shades of Nabokov’s imagination. They range from sprightly fables to bittersweet tales of loss, from claustrophobic exercises in horror to a connoisseur’s samplings of the table of human folly. Read as a whole, Nabokov’s Dozen offers and intoxicating draft of the master’s genius, his devious wit, and his ability to turn language into an instrument of ecstasy.
