Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Invitation to a Beheading. Vladimir Nabokov. G.P. Putnam's Sons. 1959. Translated by Dmitri Nabokov. This is first edition in English, published prior to the British edition. The first of Nabokov's novels to be translated in English. It is often described as Kafkaesque, but Nabokov claimed that at the time he wrote the book, he was unfamiliar with German and "completely ignorant" of Franz Kafka's work. Summary: "Written during the years the author spent in Germany and France prior to his coming to the United States, they were largely published in Berlin and Paris under the pseudonym of Sirin. That no one attempted to translate for them for so long should be no surprise, for as Vladimir Nabokov's increasingly displayed mastery of English prose became more apparent (he had learned English as a child even before his native Russian) the question inevitably arose as to who but Nabokov could adequately translate Nabokov. The answer lay within the question, and the translation of INVITATION TO A BEHEADING, the first of Mr. Nabokov's Russian-language novels to appear in English, is the result of a most fortuitous collaboration between the author and his 25-year-old son Dmitri, who prepared for the task by working for several years as a translator-editor of The Current Digest of the Soviet Press, published by the Joint Committee on Slavic Studies, as a translator for several agencies of the United States Government and by collaboration with his father. INVITATION TO A BEHEADING has been classified as many things -- from a tour de force to a farce, from an allegory to a specific study in terrorism. It is a book that literally defies specific classification or description, since the light in which a reader sees a Nabokov work is more often that not determined by himself." Published: [1959]. G.P.

Noteworthy for the jacket blurb by Gilbert Highet, and the quotation from the epilogue to 'Lolita' (on rear jacket cover). The first of Nabokov's novels to be translated into English. The novel is often described as Kafkaesque, but Nabokov claimed that at the time he wrote the book, he was unfamiliar with German and "completely ignorant" of Franz Kafka's work. Nabokov interrupted his work on The Gift in order to write Invitation to a Beheading, describing the creation of the first draft as "one fortnight of wonderful excitement and sustained inspiration." Some scholars have argued that the central plot of Invitation to a Beheading has its roots in Chernyshevski, a character from The Gift. Another view is that the novel functions as a roman à clef with the Platonic Socrates as its target. While Nabokov stated in an interview that of all his novels, he held the greatest affection for Lolita, it was for Invitation to a Beheading that he held the greatest "esteem".
