Paperback. Book-Club Edition [1981].

Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. 352 pages. Edited and with an Introduction by Fredson Bowers. Apparent Book Club Edition, published in 1981, a year before the Mariner paperback edition was published. Has no price on the cover; otherwise doesn't show any of the other indications of a Book-Club edition and there is no statement to that effect. Paperback. Seller Inventory # 46931

Lectures on Russian Literature
Seller: Remarks Used Books, Pittsfield, MA, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 2nd printing. 324pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "This volume complements the widely praised Lectures on Literature, which the Washington Post Book World ranked 'with Flaubert's letters, James' prefaces and Woolf's diaries as privileged, nourishing, irreplaceable meditations on the art of fiction.' [] If Nabokov sparkled in those lectures on European authors, here in his commentaries on the great 19th-century Russian writers--Gogol, Turgenev, Gorki, Dostoevski, Tolstoy, Chekhov--he is completely in his element. 'Not only did these writers represent to him the absolute height of Russian literature (with Pushkin, of course),' Fredson Bowers notes, 'but they also flourished counter to the utilitarianism that he despised both in the social critics of the time and, more bitingly, in its later Soviet development.' They were the last unfettered voices of his lost homeland. [] As Nabokov guides readers through intricacies of plot and character, meticulously supplemented with facts about 19th-century Russia, he again demonstrates his brilliance as a teacher and his ability to enchant. Thirty-eight illustrations give evidence of the care with which he prepared these celebrated lectures." [publisher copy] "This volume never once fails to instruct and stimulate. This is a great Russian talking of great Russians."--Anthony Burgess. "Nabokov's imagination and style lifted his lectures from the level of mere pedagogy into a realm of delight."--Leon Eden. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Seller Inventory # RUB3049
