Sobre el libro Ada to Zembla : The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov de David Vernon publicado por Endellion Press al 2022:
´Nabokov´s novels are playgrounds of perfection and dungeons of despair´ Exile, émigré and refugee, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) was buffeted by the tides of his times, from the Russian Revolution to the rise of Hitler. But he converted that personal anarchy into a seductive, often controversial, art which searches for meaning amid cruelty and loss. In Ada to Zembla: The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov, David Vernon explores the works of one of the twentieth century´s key writers: hilarious, exquisite but complex worlds which challenge our complacency and interrogate our perception of beauty, reality and identity. Lucid and lively, this is the first book in English to devote a chapter to each of Nabokov´s novels, in both Russian and English - from his debut, Mary, to the posthumous Laura. Supplementary essays discuss Speak, Memory and other non-fiction, plus the short stories, poetry and plays, as well as Nabokov´s lifelong engagement with chess and butterflies. Ada to Zembla offers keys to Nabokov´s many locked doors, revealing not only the layers and networks of his novels but their emotional depth and playful sport.Altres persones que han llegit Ada to Zembla : The Novels of Vladimir Nabokov de David Vernon han escollit
