The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov
ISBN: 9780679729976 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From the writer who shocked and delighted the world with his novels Lolita, Pale Fire,
and Ada, or Ardor, and so many others, comes a magnificent collection of stories. Written between the 1920s and 1950s, these sixty-five tales--eleven of which have been translated into English for the first time--display all the shades of Nabokov's imagination. They range from sprightly fables to bittersweet tales of loss, from claustrophobic exercises in horror to a connoisseur's samplings of the table of human folly. Read as a whole, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov offers and... From the writer who shocked and delighted the world with his novels Lolita, Pale Fire,

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...

Lolita - audiobook
ISBN: 8594169480923 / Czeski / audio (mc/cd) / 2016 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.

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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. „Špatný autor životopisu retušuje svou minulost a výsledkem je fotografie, kterou pořídil cizí člověk, aby utěšil žal nad bolestnou ztrátou blízké osoby. Dobrý naopak dělá všechno, co je v jeho silách, aby zachoval podrobnosti s nejvyšší věrností. Tak charakterizuje memoárové psaní jeden z největších spisovatelů 20. století Vladimir Nabokov. Autobiografie, původně vydaná roku 1951 a zásadně přepracovaná o 15 let později, je nejen dokladem jeho slov, ale také výsostným uměleckým dílem.

Pale Fire: Introduction by Richard Rorty
ISBN: 9780679410775 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The urbane authority that Vladimir Nabokov brought to every word he ever wrote, and the ironic amusement he cultivated in response to being uprooted and politically exiled twice in his life, never found fuller expression than in Pale Fire published in 1962 after the critical and popular success of Lolita had made him an international literary figure.
An ingeniously constructed parody of detective fiction and learned commentary, Pale Fire offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures, at the center of which is a 999-line poem written by the literary genius John...

Hrdinský čin
ISBN: 9788076371859 / Czeski / 2021 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hrdinský čin je autorovým raným románem z roku 1932, jenž bývá považován za fikční pandán k autobiografii Promluv, paměti. Stejně jako Nabokov sám je i jeho hrdina ruským emigrantem, který v mládí studoval v Cambridgi a žil v Berlíně. Tak jako se Edelweiss utkává se svou sebezničující, nostalgickou touhou po minulosti, svádíi Nabokov dramatickou a efektní partii s výrazovými možnostmi ruštiny, kterou si lze naplno vychutnat díky překladu Pavla Dominika.

Wykłady o Don Kichocie
ISBN: 9788362858750 / Polski / Miękka / 2015 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Rosyjsko-amerykański geniusz literatury Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), autor słynnej "Lolity", był też akademikiem. Zebrane tu wykłady wygłoszone na Harvardzie z początkiem lat 50. XX wieku dalekie są jednak od akademizmu. "Don Kichot" (1605–1615), powieść w naszym dzisiejszym odczuciu okrutna, krwawa, bezlitosna i zupełnie nieśmieszna, w ujęciu Nabokova, który zresztą też tak ją odbierał i raczej jej nie lubił, nabiera nowego życia i odzyskuje literacką świeżość. Nabokov, którego błyskotliwy umysł i poczucie humoru łagodzi nam udręki lektury dzieła...

Pnin, 1 Audio-CD, 1 MP3
ISBN: 9783742421470 / Niemiecki / CD-Audio / 2021 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Der zerstreute Professor Pnin unterrichtet an einem Provinz-College russische Literatur - nicht der beliebteste Kurs in den USA der 50er-Jahre. Überängstlich und zwanghaft versucht sich der Immigrant in der neuen Heimat zurechtzufinden. Doch versteht er weder die Feinheiten der englischen Sprache noch die amerikanischen gesellschaftlichen Codes und taumelt daher von einem Missgeschick zum nächsten. Mit Witz und Charme gelingt es ihm jedoch stets, seine Würde zu bewahren. Einfühlsam verleiht der Schauspieler Ulrich Matthes dem Erzähler seine Stimme.

Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who wants to become a movie star herself. When Albinus introduces her to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire, deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of Berlin in the 1930s.
