Invitation to a Beheading
ISBN: 9780679725312 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of a bizarre and irrational world. In an unnamed dream country, the young man Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude," an imaginary crime that defies definition. Cincinnatus spends his last days in an absurd jail, where he is visited by chimerical jailers, an executioner who masquerades as a fellow prisoner, and by his in-laws, who lug their furniture with them into his cell. When Cincinnatus is led out to be executed, he simply wills his executioners out of existence: they...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. „Fikcja stwarza mi tak rzadko okazję do dzielenia się własnym zdaniem, że cieszą mnie te nagłe nawałnice pytań”, wyznaje Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), rosyjsko-amerykański klasyk literatury XX wieku, i przedstawia nam, co „własnym zdaniem”, a nie zdaniem bohaterów jego powieści, ma do powiedzenia o świecie, a przede wszystkim o sobie. Wypowiada się w zebranych tu wywiadach, listach i artykułach rzucających sporo światła na niezwykłą osobowość tego pisarza. Rosyjski arystokrata pozbawiony przez rewolucję bolszewicką majątku i środków do życia, emigrant,...

Nikolai Gogol
ISBN: 9780811201209 / Angielski / Miękka / 1961 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This biography begins with Gogol's death and ends with his birth, an inverted structure typical of both Gogol and Nabokov. The biographer proceeds to establish the relationship between Gogol and his novels, especially with regard to "nose-consciousness," a peculiar feature of Russian life and letters, which finds its apotheosis in Gogol's own life and prose. There are more expressions and proverbs concerning the nose in Russian than in any other language in the world. Nabokov's style in this biography is comic, but as always leads to serious issues in this case, an appreciation of the...

Výstřední zpověď čtyřicátníka Humberta Humberta o jeho zničující erotické posedlosti kouzlem nymfičky Dolores Hazeové vzbudila krátce po svém vzniku bouři odporu i nemístná očekávání, aby pak zajistila svému autorovi celosvětový věhlas. Postupně začala být chápána jako mistrovsky komponované mnohovrstevné pojednání na téma smyslnosti, lásky a hříchu, prosycené pro Nabokova typickou slovní virtuozitou, humorem i ironií.
