Description

(Book Coat Standing: Jacketed)From one of the 20th-century's great authors comes one of the best autobiographies of our time. Speak, Storage was initially printed by Vladimir Nabokov in 1951 as Definitive Proof and subsequently assiduously revised and republished in 1966. The Everyman's Library edition contains, for the very first time, the previously unpublished "Section 16"–the most critical unpublished written piece by the grasp, recently launched by the Nabokov estate–which supplied an exceptional insight into Talk, Memory.Nabokov's memoir is just a moving account of the warm, civil household, of teenage awakenings, trip from Bolshevik horror, training in England, and émigré life in London and Berlin. The Nabokovs were odd, generous aristocrats, who lived a life immersed in politics and literature on marvelous region properties until their planet was taken out by the Russian revolution once the writer was eighteen yrs old.
