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: Introduction by Martin Amis
ISBN: 9780679410430 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
When it was published in 1955, Lolita immediately became a cause celebre because of the freedom and sophistication with which it handled the unusual erotic predilections of its protagonist. But Vladimir Nabokov's wise, ironic, elegant masterpiece owes its stature as one of the twentieth century's novels of record not to the controversy its material aroused but to its author's use of that material to tell a love story almost shocking in its beauty and tenderness.
Awe and exhilaration-along with heartbreak and mordant wit-abound in this account of the aging...

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...

Lolita
ISBN: 9788076373365 / Czeski / Miękka / 2022 / 384 str. 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. Nakonec zajistila svému autorovi celosvětový věhlas a postupně začala být chápána jako mistrovské mnohovrstevné pojednání na téma smyslnosti, lásky a hříchu.
Román prosycený pro Nabokova typickou slovní virtuozitou, humorem a ironií se také v Česku stal klasikou, která oslovuje stále nové generace čtenářek a čtenářů. I toto...

Letters to Véra
ISBN: 9780307476586 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 864 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer is quite as beguiling as that of Vladimir Nabokov's to Vera Slonim. She shared his delight at the enchantment of life's trifles and literature's treasures, and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humor of any woman he had met. From their first encounter in 1923, Vladimir's letters to Vera chronicle a half-century-long love story, one that is playful, romantic, and memorable. At the same time, the letters reveal much about their author. We see the infectious fascination with which Vladimir observed everything--animals,...

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...

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,...
