Description
Kurt Dreyer, an elderly wealthy businessman, is sincerely in love with his wife Marta—a young beauty with a serious face and a cold gaze. He is absolutely certain that she returns his feelings, but in reality Marta is interested only in his money. Returning with his wife from Tyrol to their native Berlin, Dreyer stops by his cousin’s place and promises to “place” her son Franz.
In Berlin, he tries to be a caring and responsive “uncle” in every way. At the same time, the not-wealthy provincial young man falls in love with the luxurious Marta at once, and she decides to use him to achieve her goals.
Following the classic plot of a boulevard love novel, Nabokov creates a complex psychological, social, and philosophical work.
