Invitation to a Beheading
ISBN: 9780679725312 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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...

Smích ve tmě
ISBN: 9788076374911 / Czeski / 2024 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. S nadsázkou lze říci, že Nabokov měl kromě literatury tři velké vášně - šachy, motýly a filmy. Román, v němž umělecký kritik Albert Albinus zatouží po sedmnáctileté adeptce herectví Margot a rozehraje s ní vztahovou partii plnou ochromující posedlosti, jako by byl poctou právě filmovému médiu. Ostatně první ruské vydání tohoto díla v roce 1932 neslo pojmenování Kamera obskura, tedy temná komora. Autor jej po šesti letech přeložil do angličtiny pod názvem Smích ve tmě, přičemž jeho slávu stvrdila i stejnojmenná filmová adaptace z roku 1969....

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.

The Real Life of Sebastian Knight
ISBN: 9780679727262 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically." -- John Updike The Real Life of Sebastian Knight is a perversely magical literary detective story -- subtle, intricate, leading to a tantalizing climax -- about the mysterious life of a famous writer. Many people knew things about Sebastian Knight as a distinguished novelist, but probably fewer than a dozen knew of the two love affairs that so profoundly influenced his career, the second one in such a disastrous way. After Knight's death, his half brother sets out to penetrate the enigma of his life, starting...

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.

Pale Fire: Introduction by Richard Rorty
ISBN: 9780679410775 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

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,...

Vladimir Nabokov: Novels 1955-1962 (LOA #88): Lolita / Lolita (screenplay) / Pnin / Pale Fire
ISBN: 9781883011192 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 916 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lolita (1955), Nabokov's single most famous work, is one of the most controversial and widely read books of its time. Funny, satiric, poignant, filled with allusions to earlier American writers, it is the "confession" of a middle-aged, sophisticated European emigre's passionate obsession with a 12-year-old American "nymphet", and the story of their wanderings across a late 1940s America of highways and motels. Pnin (1957) is a comic masterpiece about a gentle bald Russian emigre professor in an American college town who is never quite able to master its language, its politics, or its train...
