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...

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,...

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...

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,...

Pale Fire: Introduction by Richard Rorty
ISBN: 9780679410775 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 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...
