Description

In the novel “Mashen’ka,” Nabokov addresses, for the first time, themes that will then appear repeatedly throughout his work. These are the theme of lost Russia, presented as an image of a paradise and the happiness of youth; the theme of memory, which both stands against time’s power to destroy everything and suffers defeat in this futile struggle.
