Résumé
WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY . NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER . From the award-winning author of The Revolutionary and The Witches comes "an elegantly nuanced portrait of [Vladimir Nabokov's] wife, showing us just how pivotal Nabokov's marriage was to his hermetic existence and how it indelibly shaped his work."-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times ONE OF ESQUIRE'S 50 BEST BIOGRAPHIES OF ALL TIME"Monumental."-The Boston Globe"Utterly romantic."-New York magazine"Deeply moving."-The Seattle TimesStacy Schiff brings to shimmering life one of the greatest literary love stories of our time: Vladimir Nabokov, émigré author of Lolita; Pale Fire; and Speak, Memory, and his beloved wife, Véra.
Nabokov wrote his books first for himself, second for his wife, and third for no one at all. "Without my wife, " he once noted, "I wouldn't have written a single novel." Set in prewar Europe and postwar America, spanning much of the twentieth century, the story of the Nabokovs' fifty-two-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. Véra, both beautiful and brilliant, is its outsized heroine-a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy.
Stacy Schiff's Véra is a triumph of the biographical form.
