Pnin de Vladimir Nabokov

Pnin

Autor Vladimir Nabokov
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 iun 1989
Pnin is a professor of Russian at an American college who takes the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he cannot master. Pnin is a tireless lover who writes to his treacherous Liza: "A genius needs to keep so much in store, and thus cannot offer you the whole of himself as I do." Pnin is the focal point of subtle academic conspiracies he cannot begin to comprehend, yet he stages a faculty party to end all faculty parties forever.

In 1961 he moved to Montreux, Switzerland, where he died in 1977.

Recenzii

"Nabokov writes prose the only way it should be written, that is, ecstatically." -- John Updike
