About the Author

Vladimir Vladimirovich Nobokov was born April 22, 1899 in St. Petersburg, Russia to a wealthy family. He attended Trinity College, Cambridge. When he left Russia, he moved to Paris and eventually to the United States in 1940. He taught at Wellesley College and Cornell University. Nobokov is revered show more as one of the great American novelists of the 20th Century. Before he moved to the United States, he wrote under the pseudonym Vladimir Serin. Among those titles, were Mashenka, his first novel and Invitation to a Beheading. The first book he wrote in English was The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. He is best know for his work Lolita which was made into a movie in 1962. In addition to novels, he also wrote poetry and short stories. He was a finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction seven times, but never won it. Nabokov died July 2, 1977. show less

Disambiguation Notice:

Note that Nabokov/Sirin published two works called Соглядатай 'The spy': a novella first published in the émigré journal Sovremennye zapiski in 1930 and translated into English as The Eye, and a story collection including the novella published as a book in Paris in 1938. The latter has recently been republished by the Russian company Azbuka as Совершенство 'Perfection,' the name of one of the stories. If there are any LT copies of the 1938 collection, they should be combined with Совершенство [Sovershenstvo].

Vladimir Nabokov: Novels 1955-1962 (Library of… by Vladimir Nabokov

In this 2nd LOA volume, the reader will Nabokov's 3 novels & a screen play of "Lolita." "Lolita" is one of the most controversial novels of the time & all but wrecked Nabokov's reputation which he never recovered. His insistence at the time of pushing the novel was incredibly ill advised. Afterwards, none of his other novels nor his screenplay would be remembered except for "Lolita".

Vladimir Nabakov: Novels and Memoirs 1941-1951… by Vladimir Nabakov

Vladimir Nabokov, a Russian immigrant, who spent most of his adult life in the US & wrote several novels, most notably "Lolita." In this volume, 2 novels & his memoir "Speak, Memory" is quite fascinating for his recollection of a world long gone & unknown to readers.

Look at the Harlequins! by Vladimir Nabokov

I really wanted to like this book and I purchased the Kindle and the audible edition so I could alternate between reading and listening. When I was listening, I did enjoy some of the jokes did seem to land. But I still had absolutely no idea what was going on. I asked AI and they had no idea. I decided before I read anymore. I read the text highlighting any actions that were taking place in real time so I could sort of figure out how the plot moved along. This proved impossible because by the time I got to maybe chapter 7 or eight I found myself falling asleep like almost in a coma. It was impossible to read this stuff without falling asleep. Anytime the narrator talks about the plot it’s interesting but any time which is most most of the time when he just goes off on some sort of strange reminiscence or an aside that part is boring, which means most of the book is boring with just a little bit of excitement to look forward to when something actually happens in the plot. The book does get better. It’s just that certain chapters are just totally irreverent and only have a small bit of information to move the plot forward and the rest is just sort of this trivia and Minutia. Updated based on how much I found the book in improved at the end of the first part and the beginning of the second part I went and revised the number of stars up again because I found the book did have some interesting parts.… (more)
