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,

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...

Pale Fire: Introduction by Richard Rorty
ISBN: 9780679410775 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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...

ISBN: 9788076375857 / Czeski / 2025 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Rozsudek smrti byl v souladu se zákonem oznámen Cincinnatovi C. šeptem.V žádné jiné ze svých próz se Nabokov nepřiblížil literárnímu světu Franze Kafky tak jako v Pozvání na popravu. Zjitřené vnímání společenské látky se tu spojuje s pocitem hlubokého existenciálního traumatu, jež má obecný charakter a o to více promlouvá k současnému čtenáři.Mladý hrdina čeká na svou popravu, přičemž není zcela zřejmá ani povaha jeho skutečného provinění, ani bližší okolnosti chystané exekuce. V tomto svíravém rámci jde odsouzenci o jediné - vymezit...

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.

Hrdinský čin
ISBN: 9788076371859 / Czeski / 2021 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) 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.
