Would recommend this seller             Lolita Vladimir Nabokov Penguin Books Ltd, 1998 Selfishness and stupidity cause more pain than evil can In the field of erotic literature, this novel has probably touched the awareness of the public more than any other, to such an extent that the once innocuous name of Lolita has become another name for youthful feminine charm and sexuality, to put it mildly. Those ...             Lolita Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1989 A road movie of the mind Praise be to Graham Greene, who was not only an interesting novelist (e.g. The Quiet American), but he also has the merit of saving Nabokov's Lolita from obscurity. When the book found no publisher in the US, it was first brought out by a shady Parisian company that ...             The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated Vladimir Nabokov, Alfred Appel Jr. Vintage, 1991 Adds a new dimension to a novel I admired already It's hard to imagine a better qualified person to annotate Nabokov's Lolita. Appel has an extensive knowledge of Nabokov's life and work. He met Nabokov, on several occasions, and used those opportunities to find out information that only the author could know. ...             The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1996 Wondrous Although I had read various Nabokov stories over the years I had never done so in a comprehensive manner, and finally decided to do so. I anticipated that this would be a wonderful read, and of course, I was right. I was well aware as to how gifted Nabokov is with ...             Pnin Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1989 A Russian In America This book is truly a masterful work by Nabokov. In a brief summary, the book is like Kafka with a great sense of humor. Yet Kafka never really has a sense of humor, so it is unique to Nabokov. The story depicts a Russian immigrant to the US. He never really ...             Invitation to a Beheading Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1989 An Eerie Resemblance to Unreality Ask me any questions you may not have, friends. By mounting the reviewer's scaffold, I've sentenced myself to reply on behalf of the author, who is otherwise disposed. What's this book about, you ask? Why, the same thing all books are about, you and me. But what ...             Pale Fire Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1989 brilliant I adore books that change and grow as you read and reread them. Nabokov's Pale Fire definitely fits the bill. This novel really exemplifies the excessive amount of freedom within Nabokov's creative process - it is boundless, performative and very much alive. It's ...             Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1990 Ada, our ardors and arbors "Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle", Nabokov's longest novel, is also, indisputably, his most involute. Without having read his entire oeuvre (nearly half-way through!) I can still assert this with confidence - and I'm sure most Nabokov fans would concur. Those who ...             Speak, Memory (Everyman's Library (Cloth)) Vladimir Nabokov, Brian Boyd Everyman's Library, 1999 A Display Case of Butterflies I read "Speak Memory" over a series of sun-shiny days, sitting in my back yard garden with twenty-six species of flowers blooming around me, in a neighborhood of Victorian houses with 100-year old back yard gardens. My flowers include mallows, zinnias, beebalm, cosmos, ...             Strong Opinions Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1990 Strong opinions is the term This collection of interviews and articles is essential reading for lovers of Nabokov's fiction. Throughout he presents himself as a full blown iconoclast, presenting in lucid prose (Nabokov never answered interview questions without having time to prepare beforehand), ...             Lectures on Literature Vladimir Nabokov Harvest Books, 2002 A master's class on the art of reading Nabokov is a native of world literature. So it is no surprise that as he is taking the reader on a guided tour of his land, his strong literary opinions easily navigate centuries and continents of literary landscape. However, being an emotional as well as scholarly ...             The Defense Vladimir Nabokov Vintage, 1990 An Outstanding Literary Work! 'The Defense' is a well-written and engrossing read, wherein Vladimir Nabokov uses foreshadowing masterfully. It is a first-rate book!             Lolita Vladimir Nabokov Random House Audio, 2005 Yes, 5 stars but I COULD NOT FINISH I had read Lolita many years ago in my college student garret and was entertained, a bit appalled, thought I was able to "get" HH, but mainly I was amazed by the language. I can remember rereading sentences just to feel the commas. BUT, hearing it read by Jeremy Irons ...             Eugene Onegin Aleksandr Sergeevich Pushkin Princeton University Press, 1991 Refuting D Stephen Heersink's Poshlust* review Ignorant Heersink ignobly writes, besides other trite nonsense, "But Nabokov's Pushkin is too literal to be any good. James Falen's trans. is far superior, ... Falen, while also literal, also is metered and rhymes. Nabokov's thuds." In reply, I quote Nabokov from his ...          products you might be interested in search for books annotated, beheading, chronicle, classics, invitation, literature      toavi.com    web we recommend A road movie of the mind randomly chosen DVD: Daylight
