Complete Collection of Stories

The English collection of short prose by Vladimir Nabokov 1899–1977, released by the writer's son in 1995, is well-known in the West. However, in Russian, the language in which Nabokov wrote most of his stories, the book was not published for a long time. Thanks to years of work by researchers, the volume compiled by Dmitry Nabokov was enriched with new works, resulting in over sixty stories, written by Nabokov between 1920 and 1951 in European emigration and in America, being collected under one cover by 2008. In addition to well-known works, this complete collection of stories includes rare early writings, as well as forewords and notes by Nabokov from English collections. The Appendix publishes works that were not included in previous collections of stories. The edition is supplied with a foreword and notes by D. Nabokov, and readers will also find a significant amount of information in the comments from the editor and compiler of the collection, Andrey Babikov. The English stories are printed in the translation of Gennady Barabtarlo, prepared with the participation of Vera Nabokov. The features of the translator's spelling, punctuation, and transliteration have been preserved
