Vladimir Nabokov - Fiction, Drama, and Non-fiction (41 books)

Torrent: Vladimir Nabokov - Fiction, Drama, and Non-fiction (41 books)
Description:



VLADIMIR NABOKOV (1899-1977)
was a Russian-American novelist and author.  Although his first nine novels were in Russian, he rose to international prominence as a writer of English prose.  He is noted for his complex plots, clever word play, daring metaphors, classical allusion, and a prose style capable of both parody and intense lyricism.

Nabokov's principal themes include the problem of art itself presented in various figurative disguises.  Thus, THE LUZHIN DEFENSE (1930) seemingly is about chess, DESPAIR (1934) about murder, and INVITATION TO A BEHEADING (1936) a political story, but all three works make statements about art that are central to understanding the book as a whole.  The same may be said of his plays, "The Event" (1938) and "The Waltz Invention" (1938).  The problem of art again appears in his best novel in Russian, THE GIFT (1938), the story of a young artist's development in the spectral world of post-World War I Berlin.  This novel, with its reliance on literary parody, was a turning point: serious use of parody thereafter became a key device in Nabokov's art.

He gained both fame and notoriety with the novel LOLITA (1955).  With its antihero, Humbert Humbert, who is possessed by a devouring passion for very young girls, it is yet another of Nabokov's subtle allegories: love examined in the light of its seeming opposite, lechery.  (One of the best guides to the complexities of the novel is Alfred Appel's revised edition of THE ANNOTATED LOLITA, also included here.)  PALE FIRE (1962), a novel consisting of a long poem and a commentary on it by a mad literary pedant, extended and completed Nabokov's mastery of unorthodox structure.  ADA (1969), Nabokov's longest novel, is a parody of the family chronicle form.  All his earlier themes come into play in the novel, and, because the work is a medley of Russian, French, and English, it is his most difficult work.

When Nabokov died in 1977, he left behind a stack of index cards filled with the text of what was to become his final novel, THE ORIGINAL OF LAURA.  The text was finally published in 2009, and even in its highly incomplete state, it is marked by Nabokov's celebrated facility with allusion and wordplay.

His major critical works include an irreverent biography of NIKOLAY GOGOL (1944), several volumes of lectures on literature, and a monumental four-volume translation of, and commentary on, Pushkin's novel-in-verse EUGENE ONEGIN (1964) [uploaded separately].  The latter commentary ended with an appendix titled "Notes on Prosody", which parked considerable academic debate.

In addition to a complete collection of Nabokov's novels and short fiction, this torrent includes a selection of drama and poetry, his famous autobiographical memoir (SPEAK, MEMORY), lectures, letters, interviews and reviews, and some of his translations from Russian into English.
