Nabokov. 3rd edition

The metamorphoses of Vladimir Nabokov's life and creative path perfectly mirror the metamorphoses of the time in which he lived. The revolution, the exodus of the intelligentsia from Russia, the impossibility of living without the Fatherland and the impossibility of returning to it resulted in the creative fate of Vladimir Nabokov, a brilliant stylist and heir to the Pushkin tradition, manifesting as involuntary and then deliberate homelessness, a search for his place in a foreign cultural tradition, and even a rejection of his native language as a means of self-expression. It is of particular interest to the modern reader to have the opportunity to explore the biography of Vladimir Nabokov, as it belongs to the pen of the well-known literary scholar Alexey Zverev.
