Cosas transparentes

by Vladimir Nabokov

Overview

Esta es la penúltima novela de Nabokov, un tour de force literario protagonizado por Hugh Person, un joven editor norteamericano que realiza varios viajes a Suiza a lo largo de los años. Allí viajó su padre por última vez en su vida y allí deberá encontrarse Hugh con un distinguido escritor, pero también con sus propios fantasmas. Y, como resultado de esos viajes, Person se enamorará, se casará, se verá envuelto en un asesinato, será encarcelado, se sumirá en un periodo de locura e indagará en los enigmas de su pasado. Una inquietante nouvelle perversamente cómica e intensamente lírica.

About the Author

Born in Russia, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) had a penchant for writing about the tragic and the taboo in his books, especially the still-controversial Lolita. In 1919, his family left Russia for Western Europe, and eventually settled in the United States. Although his first works were written in Russian, he became famous for his novels like Pale Fire that he wrote in English. Nabokov's erudite, inventive approach to writing — buttressed by his formidable academic and cultural intellect — made him a literary legend.
