Overview

"Scopul romanului meu, singurul meu roman cu adresa, a fost sa sublinieze fiorul si farmecul pe care tanarul meu exilat le gaseste in placerile cele mai obisnuite, precum si in aventurile aparent absurde ale unei vieti singuratice." (Vladimir Nabokov)

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.
