SYNOPSIS
The acclaimed author of Lolita offers unique insight into works by James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Jane Austen, and others—with an introduction by John Updike.
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 Nabokov’s teaching, first at Wellesley and then at Cornell, as he introduced undergraduates to the delights of great fiction.
This volume collects Nabokov’s famous lectures on Western European literature, with analysis and commentary on Charles Dickens’s Bleak House, Gustav Flaubert’s Madam Bovary, Marcel Proust’s The Walk by Swann’s Place, Robert Louis Stevenson’s "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and other works. This volume also includes photographic reproductions of Nabokov’s original notes, revealing his own edits, underlined passages, and more.
Edited and with a Foreword by Fredson Bowers

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Vladimir Nabokov
Escritor norte-americano de origem russa, nascido em 1899 e falecido em 1977, exilou-se com a família na Inglaterra, França e Alemanha. Neste último país, escreveu, em russo, a primeira parte da sua obra literária, de entre a qual se destaca Mashenka e Glória.
Em 1940 partiu para os Estados Unidos da América, adquirindo a nacionalidade americana em 1945. Começou a escrever em inglês, mantendo, nas obras deste período, o fundo fantástico, a visão irónica da vida quotidiana e a mestria formal que já havia demonstrado, e almejou levar a cabo um retrato da sociedade norte-americana através das suas convenções culturais e posturas perante o sexo.
São dignas de nota as narrativas: "Invitation to a Beheading", "The Real Life of Sebastian Knight", "Lolita", um grande êxito editorial transposto para o cinema por S. Kubrick e cujo argumento se baseia nos amores de um homem adulto por uma adolescente, "Pale Fir", Pnin, Ada; or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" e "Speak Memory".
