内容简介
The Gift is the last of the novels Nabokov wrote in his native
Russian and the crowning achievement of that period in his literary
career. It is also his ode to Russian literature, evoking the works
of Pushkin, Gogol, and others in the course of its narrative: the
story of Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, an impoverished e migre poet
living in Berlin, who dreams of the book he will someday write--a
book very much like The Gift itself.
作者简介
Vladimir Nabokov was born in 1899 in St Petersburg. He wrote
his first literary works in Russian, but rose to international
prominence as a masterly prose stylist for the novels he composed
in English, most famously, Lolita. Between 1923 and 1940 he
published novels, short stories, plays, poems and translations in
the Russian language and established himself as one of the most
outstanding Russian emigre writers. He died in 1977.
