Description
The complete collection of Vladimir Nabokov’s short stories is a true literary treasure that for a long time was absent from Russian editions!
The author’s short prose delights readers and listeners no less than his cult novels!" English Collection of Short Prose by Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), published by the writer’s son in 1995, is well known in the West. However, in Russian—the language in which Nabokov wrote most of his short stories—the book was published for a long time. Thanks to the many years of work by researchers, the volume compiled by Dmitry Nabokov was expanded with new works; as a result, by 2008, over sixty stories written by Nabokov in 1920–1951 in European exile and in America were assembled under one cover. Besides well-known works, the present complete collection of stories includes rare early writings, as well as Nabokov’s prefaces and notes from English collections. In the Appendix, writings that had not been included in previous story collections are published. The edition includes a foreword and notes by D. Nabokov, and readers will also find a substantial body of information in the editor’s and compiler’s comments—Andrey Babikov. The English stories are printed in translation by Gennady Barabtarlo, prepared with the participation of Vera Nabokova.
