This edition contains a collection of poems by Vladimir Nabokov written from 1917 to 1974. The initial selection of works was made by the writer himself, and after his death, his wife Vera continued the work on the collection. In the preface, she identified Nabokov’s main theme. The book includes a number of previously unpublished works and Nabokov’s late notes. The editor’s comments and an appendix featuring Nabokov’s preface to his last collection of poems complete the edition.
