Specificatii
This first major critical biography of Vladimir Nabokov, one of the
greatest of twentieth-century writers, finally allows us full
access to the dramatic details of his life and the depths of his
art. An intensely private man, Nabokov was uprooted first by the
Russian Revolution and then by World War II. Transformed into a
permanent wanderer, he did not achieve fame until late in life,
with the success of Lolita. In this first of two volumes, Brian
Boyd vividly describes the liberal milieu of the aristocratic
Nabokovs, their escape from Russia, Nabokov's education at
Cambridge, and the murder of his father in Berlin. Boyd then turns
to the years that Nabokov spent, impoverished, in Germany and
France, until the coming of Hitler forced him to flee, with wife
and son, to the United States. This volume stands on its own as a
fascinating exploration of Nabokov's Russian years and Russian
worlds, prerevolutionary and emigre. In the course of his ten
years' work on the biography, Boyd traveled along Nabokov's trail
everywhere from Yalta to Palo Alto. The only scholar to have had
free access to the Nabokov archives in Montreux and the Library of
Congress, he also interviewed at length Nabokov's family and scores
of his friends and associates. For the general reader, Boyd offers
an introduction to Nabokov the man, his works, and his world. For
the specialist, he provides a basis for all future research on
Nabokov's life and art, as he dates and describes the composition
of all Nabokov's works, published and unpublished. Boyd
investigates Nabokov's relation to and his independence from his
time, examines the special structures of his mind and thought, and
explains the relations between his philosophy and his innovations
of literary strategy and style. At the same time he provides
succinct introductions to all the fiction, dramas, memoirs, and
major verse; presents detailed analyses of the major books that
break new ground for the scholar, while providing easy paths into
the works for other readers; and shows the relationship between
Nabokov's life and the themes and subjects of his art.
