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: 9780679724506 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 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.

Pnin
ISBN: 9781857152722 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. In this short but pungent and entirely characteristic novel, Nabokov tells the tragi-comic story of Professor Timofey Pnin - savant, emigre and linguist, happy in scholarship but disappointed in life and in love. With the lightest of touches the author sketches in a whole history from a few inconsequential episodes. A faculty party, a shipboard encounter, a series of rented rooms, give us the story coloured by fantastic humour and deep pathos. Published two years after Lolita and sharting that novel's pin-sharp observation and linguistic virtuosity, PNIN is an altogether gentler drama,...

Własnym zdaniem
ISBN: 9788362858903 / Polski / Miękka / 2016 / 354 str. 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,...
