ISBN10: 0691024707, ISBN13: 9780691024707, [publisher: Princeton University Press] Softcover This first major critical biography of Vladimir Nabokov, one of the greatest of twentieth-century writers, finally allows us full access to the dramatic details of his life and the depths of his art. An intensely private man, Nabokov was uprooted first by the Russian Revolution and then by World WarII. Transformed into a permanent wanderer, he did not achieve fame until late in life, with the success of Lolita. In this first of two volumes, Brian Boyd vividly describes the liberal milieu of the aristocratic Nabokovs, their escape from Russia, NabokovNr.s education at Cambridge, and the murder of his father in Berlin. Boyd then turns to the years that Nabokov spent, impoverished, in Germany and France, until the coming of Hitler forced him to flee, with wife and son, to the United States. This volume stands on its own as a fascinating exploration of NabokovNr.s Russian years and Russian worlds, prerevolutionary and migr.In the course of his ten yearsNr. work on the biography, Boyd traveled along NabokovNr.s trail everywhere from Yalta to Palo Alto. The only scholar to have had free access to the Nabokov archives in Montreux and the Library of Congress, he also interviewed at length NabokovNr.s family and scores of his friends and associates.For the general reader, Boyd offers an introduction to Nabokov the man, his works, and his world.
