Vladimir Nabokov
Lectures on Russian Literature Paperback Book
The acclaimed author presents his unique insights into the works of great Russian authors including Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Gorky, and Chekhov.In the 1940s, when Vladimir Nabokov first embarked on his academic career in the United States, he brought with him hundreds of original lectures on the authors he most admired. For two decades those lectures served as the basis for Nabokovs teaching, first at Wellesley and then at Cornell, as he introduced undergraduates to the delights of great fiction. This volume collects Nabokovs famous lectures on nineteenthcentury Russian literature, with analysis and commentary on Nikolay Gogols Dead Souls and "The Overcoat" Ivan Turgenevs Fathers and Sons Maxim Gorkys "On the Rafts" Leo Tolstoys Anna Karenina and The Death of Ivan Ilych two short stories and a play by Anton Chekhov and several works by Fyodor Dostoevsky, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Possessed. This volume also includes Nabokovs lectures on the art of translation, the nature of Russian censorship, and other topics. Featured throughout the volume are photographic reproductions of Nabokovs original notes. "This volume . . . never once fails to instruct and stimulate. This is a great Russian talking of great Russians."Anthony Burgess Introduction by Fredson Bowers
