Nabokov has a wonderful sense of words, Fowler says "perhaps the most dazzling prose ever written in English", and an incredible vocabulary (Nabokov is said to abhor an abrdiged dictionary!). Wonderful memories, neat twists, and fantastically descriptive language throughout. ( ) Book Description: Franklin Center, PA: The Franklin Library, 1977. Fine in tan leather boards. Bright gilt embossed lettering and illustrations to the panels and spine. Four raised bands to the spine. Bright gilt to the page ends. Numerous full page illustrations by Keely.

Contiene
Thirteen strangely wrought, ingeniously crafted stories make up Nabokov's baker's dozen. In some of these stories shadowy people pass through, cooped up by life, with nowhere to escape to. Their dreams lie stifled, smothered by routine and repetition, and frustrations lurk in all the corners. In others, elusive glimpses of fleeting happiness, which flutter away before they can be snatched, waylay their victims. Like the shimmer of the sea, the gleam of a glass caught by the sun, they sparkle brilliantly only to dissolve again. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
