Description

These masterly poems span the decades of Nabokov s career, from Music , written in 1914, to the short, playful To Vera , composed in 1974. The University Poem , one of Nabokov s major poetic works, is here in English for the first time: an extraordinary autobiographical poem looking back at his time at Cambridge, with its dinners, girls and memories, it is suffused with rich description, wit and verbal dexterity. Included too are the surreally comic A Literary Dinner , the enchanting, Eve , the wryly humorous An Evening of Russian Poetry and a meditation on the act of creation, Tolstoy , as well as verse written on America, lepidoptery, sport, love and Nabokov s Russian homeland.

About the Author

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), born in St Petersburg, exiled in Cambridge, Berlin, and Paris, became the greatest Russian writer of the first half of the twentieth century. Fleeing to the US with his family in 1940, he then became the greatest writer in English of the second half of the century, and even God s own novelist (William Deresiewicz). He lived in Europe from 1959 onwards, and died in Montreux, Switzerland. All his major works - novels, stories, an autobiography, poems, plays, lectures, essays and reviews - are published in Penguin Modern Classics.
