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...

Laughter in the Dark
ISBN: 9780811216746 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Once upon a time there lived in Berlin, Germany, a man called Albinus. He was rich, respectable, happy; one day he abandoned his wife for the sake of a youthful mistress; he loved; was not loved; and his life ended in disaster." Thus begins Vladimir Nabokov's Laughter in the Dark; this, the author tells us, is the whole story except that he starts from here, with his characteristic dazzling skill and irony, and brilliantly turns a fable into a chilling, original novel of folly and destruction. Amidst a Weimar-era milieu of silent film stars, artists, and aspirants, Nabokov...

Lolita
ISBN: 9780679723165 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in Lolita, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

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.

Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle
ISBN: 9780679725220 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 624 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest. But more: it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. Ada, or Ardor is no less than the supreme work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic...

Mary
ISBN: 9780679726203 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Mary is a gripping tale of youth, first love, and nostalgia--Nabokov's first novel. In a Berlin rooming house filled with an assortment of seriocomic Russian emigres, Lev Ganin, a vigorous young officer poised between his past and his future, relives his first love affair. His memories of Mary are suffused with the freshness of youth and the idyllic ambience of pre-revolutionary Russia. In stark contrast is the decidedly unappealing boarder living in the room next to Ganin's, who, he discovers, is Mary's husband, temporarily separated from her by the Revolution but expecting her...

Pozvání na popravu
ISBN: 9788076375857 / Czeski / 2025 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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...
