This is a nicely written short bio, full of great photos.'That was my Litsy review, 251 characters or less. Exceptionally cultured and well-read as an upperclass teenager in St Petersburg, marched through history, exiled by the Russian revolution, lost his father to assassination, fled from HitlerвЂs Germany, and he responded by remaining aloof and focused on literature where, despite changing languages, he was outsized in his confidence. The photographs and illustrations in this volume, many previously unpublished, range from early photographs of the Nabokovs' estates in Russia to hand-corrected manuscript pages, first edition book jackets, and examples of Nabokov's lifelong passion for butterflies.more Acclaimed Nabokov scholar Jane Grayson provides fresh insight into the celebrated author's life, from his roots in aristocratic, pre-Soviet Russia to exile in Paris, Berlin, and the United States, examining the sources for his unforgettable creations. Even at its darkest it has an inventiveness and a richness of perception that has rarely been surpassed. The lively texts are accompanied by over a hundred rare images, many in color, depicting the author's world.VLADIMIR NABOKOV'S work exudes a tremendous vivacity and joy.
