Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Stated First Edition. ABOUT THE BOOK: This legendary novel has been the source of much anxiety and contention for Nabokov's fans - and family. The late Vladimir Nabokov requested that this unfinished work be destroyed, but his son, Dmitri, did not oblige, although neither did he allow the work to be published - until now. "The Original of Laura" is about a wonderfully large man called Philip Wild, married to a very promiscuous woman, and whose meditations concern the nature of death. The novel was complete in Nabokov's mind, though he died before he could translate his vision on to paper. It is hard, however, to imagine any scholars, Nabokov enthusiasts or literature lovers being disappointed by even these fragments. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & to international destinations via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL at our quoted below cost rates.

"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.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 1st. 64 pages, illustrations (some colour), portraits; 25 cm.

Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light shelfwear to wraps, dust spotting/top edge. *** In exchange for the loan of works for this exhibition, the Brandywine River Museum sent a Wyeth show to the USSR, just as the Soviet Union was about to dissolve.
