Hardcover. Condition: Fair. First Edition. Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) stamt uit een Russicshe aristocratische familie die, met achterlating van al haar bezittingen, in 1917 naar het Westen vluchtte. Nadat Nabokov in de jaren dertig aanvankelijk in Duitsland woonde, week hij later uit naar Parijs. Het feit dat zijn vrouw Véra joodse was speelde daarbij een belangrijke rol. Na het bombardement op Rotterdam van 10 mei 1940 zag Nabokov in dat zijn vrouw en hij ook in Frankrijk niet langer veilig zouden zijn en vluchtte het gezin met een van de laatste boten via de haven van Saint-Nazaire naar Amerika. Het enorme succes van Lolita (1955) maakte hem financieel onafhankelijk. In 1959 verhuisde hij naar Zwitserland. Hij schreef een groot aantal inmiddels klassieke romans, waaronder Puin, De verdediging, Ada en De gave. Behalve een van de grootste schrijvers van de twintigste eeuw was hij een gerenommerd vlinderkenner. In 2009 verscheen postuum zijn laatste roman, Het origineel van Laura.; Gebonden boek met losse stofomslag. Gave boekband, maar voorkant met vlekken. Schoon en fris binnenwerk, een B gestempeld op het schutblad. Losse omslag goed, aan de bovenkant wat losjes. …

"Lolita" (1955), Nabokov's single most famous work, is one of the most controversial & widely read books of its time. Funny, satiric, poignant, filled w/ allusions to earlier American writers, it is the "confession" of a middle-aged, sophisticated European émigré's passionate obsession w/ a 12-year-old American "nymphet," & the story of their wanderings across a late 1940s America of highways & motels. Of its deeper meanings, Nabokov characteristically wrote: "I am neither a reader nor a writer of didactic fiction, and . . . Lolita has no moral in tow. For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm." (Nabokov's film adaptation of Lolita, as originally written for director Stanley Kubrick, is also included.) "Pnin" (1957) is a comic masterpiece about a gentle, bald Russian émigré professor in an American college town who is never quite able to master its language, its politics, or its train schedule. Nabokov's years as a teacher provided rich background for this satirical picture of academic life, w/ an unforgettable figure at its center: "It was the world that was absent-minded and it was Pnin whose business it was to set it straight. His life was a constant war w/ insensate objects that fell apart, or attacked him, or refused to function, or viciously got themselves lost as soon as they entered the sphere of his existence." "Pale Fire" (1962) is a tour de force in the form of an ostensibly autobiographical poem by a recently deceased American poet & a critical commentary by an academic who is something other than what he seems. Its unique structure, pitting artist against seemingly worshipful critic, sets the stage for some of Nabokov's most intricate games of deception and concealment. "Pretending to be a curio," wrote Mary McCarthy, "it cannot disguise the fact that it is one of the great works of art of this century." The texts of this volume incorporate Nabokov's penciled corrections in his own copies of his works which correct long-standing errors. * VLADIMIR NABOKOV: After a brilliant literary career writing in Russian, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) immigrated to the United States in 1940 & went on to an even more brilliant one in English. Between 1939 & 1974 he wrote the autobiography & 8 novels collected by the LOA in th authoritative 3-volume set. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).…

Encuadernación de tapa blanda. Condition: Bien. 1ª Edición. El protagonista de esta obra, considerada «la más deliciosa de las novelas de Nabokov» (G.M. Hyde), es el inefable e infeliz profesor Pnin, un emigrado ruso que se gana la vida dando clases a media docena escasa de desganados alumnos. Pero los verdaderos enemigos del inefable e infeliz Pnin son los extraños artilugios de la modernidad: coches, electrodomésticos y demás máquinas que, al menos a él, no le facilitan precisamente la vida. Nabokov satiriza aquí un mundo que a él, como emigrado, le tocó sufrir, y pocas veces se le nota tan desenvuelto, tan feliz en el acto mismo de escribir, tan capaz de transmitir el placer que, a pesar de los pesares, le daba el simple hecho de estar vivo.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: None, As Issued. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 910 pages. Published in 1996. Retrospective collection of the author's "American" novels. The First Slipcased Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a Slipcased Edition for distribution to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. The Slipcased Edition has the same ISBN as the regular trade edition. The Slipcased Edition is now rare. An austerely elegant production: Regular-sized volume format. Text by Vladimir Nabokov edited and annotated by Brian Boyd. Cream hard board slipcase. Printed to the highest standards on acid-free paper, utilizing sewn binding, closely woven rayon cloth boards, satin bound-in ribbon marker, and a page layout that is both readable and elegant. The book is guaranteed to last for several generations of readers and collectors (despite frequent and regular use, the estimated life span of Library of America Editions is 1000 years; un-used, they will last forever). Without DJ, as issued. Presents, in their definitive form, Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita", "Pnin", "Pale Fire", and as a special bonus, his screenplay adaptation of "Lolita" (written for Stanley Kubrick). Three of Vladimir Nabokov's early-American novels, the second volume of the LOA three-volume set. The set, as a whole, is a major literary event: "Marks the first time the Library of America has offered works by a foreign-born author. Though a native of Russia, Nabokov could easily be considered an American by osmosis since he wrote his major works while living on American soil. Contains all his American fiction and nonfiction writings, and incorporates the corrections the author added to his personal editions" (Publisher's blurb). "His most acclaimed and popular works. The short, often anthologized 'Pnin' is included, as is 'Pale Fire', Nabokov's most elaborate fictional joke, a novel masquerading as a 999-line poem accompanied by a professorial pedant's extensive annotations. But this Deluxe Volume is most valuable for its inclusion of 'Lolita' alongside the screenplay that Nabokov wrote for Stanley Kubrick. Kubrick's film is different from the version Nabokov intended, and 'Novels 1955-1962' offers the opportunity to compare 'Lolita' 's two Nabokovian incarnations with Kubrick's film and with the more recent, controversial adaptation directed by Adrian Lyne, starring Jeremy Irons" (Publisher's blurb). The latter adaptation was written by the estimable Stephen Schiff, a noble failure that pales beside the Nabokov original, but at least, Schiff's screenplay was not mangled as Nabokov's was by the megalomaniacal Kubrick, who incomprehensively believed that he was a greater artist than Nabokov. An absolute "must-have" title for Vladimir Nabokov collectors. These titles are great books. This is one of few copies of the First Library of America Slipcased Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. It is the single most beautiful copy we have ever seen. Please note: The First Slipcased Edition was distributed to libraries and LOA subscribers only. None of the copies was sold to the public. A rare copy thus. The greatest prose stylist in the English language of the 20th century. A fine collectible copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER VLADIMIR NABOKOV TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 1883011191. no.…
