ISBN: 9780679729976 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 720 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 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.

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. 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...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. „Špatný autor životopisu retušuje svou minulost a výsledkem je fotografie, kterou pořídil cizí člověk, aby utěšil žal nad bolestnou ztrátou blízké osoby.

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.

"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.
