Descriere magazin:
This Library of America volume is the second of three volumes presenting the most authoritative versions of the English works of the brilliant Russian migr , Vladimir Nabokov. Lolita (1955), Nabokov\'s single most famous work, is one of the most controversial and widely read books of its time. Funny, satiric, poignant, filled with allusions to earlier American writers, it is the confession of a middle-aged, sophisticated European migr \'s passionate obsession with a twelve-year-old American nymphet, and the story of their wanderings across a late 1940s America of highways and motels. (Nabokov\'s film adaptation of Lolita , as originally written for director Stanley Kubrick, is also included.) Pnin (1957) is a comic masterpiece about a gentle, bald Russian migr professor in an American college town who is never quite able to master its language, its politics, or its train schedule. Nabokov\'s years as a teacher provided rich background for this satirical picture of academic life, with an unforgettable figure at its center: It was the world that was absent-minded and it was Pnin whose business it was to set it straight. His life was a constant war with insensate objects that fell apart, or attacked him, or refused to function, or viciously got themselves lost as soon as they entered the sphere of his existence. Pale Fire (1962) is a tour de force in the form of an ostensibly autobiographical poem by a recently deceased American poet and a critical commentary by an academic who is something other than what he seems. Its unique structure, pitting artist against seemingly worshipful critic, sets the stage for some of Nabokov\'s most intricate games of deception and concealment. The texts of this volume incorporate Nabokov\'s penciled corrections in his own copies of his works which correct long-standing errors, and have been prepared with the assistance of Dmitri Nabokov, the novelist\'s son. LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation\'s literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America\'s best and most significant writing.
