SYNOPSIS
The author of Lolita translates the celebrated, medieval epic Russian poem about a doomed campaign led by Prince Igor Sviatoslavich the Brave.
A chivalric expedition is undertaken in the late twelfth century by a minor prince in the land of Rus’ to defeat, against overwhelming odds, a powerful alliance in a neighboring territory. The anonymous poet who chronicled this adventure packed unprecedented metaphorical agility, keenness of observation, and fascinating imagery into the lean and powerful tale of the doomed campaign.
Discovered in the late eighteenth century and only narrowly distributed, the original manuscript was destroyed in a fire, leading to endless debate about the provenance and authenticity of the extant versions. It also served as the basis of Borodin’s opera Prince Igor. Translated by Vladimir Nabokov, the verses that constitute "The Song of Igor’s Campaign" are presented in their original rhyme and meter, and Nabokov’s extensive annotations provide illuminations on all the aspects of the text.

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".
