This first major critical biography of Vladimir Nabokov, one of the greatest of twentieth-century writers, finally allows us full access to the dramatic details of his life and the depths of his art. An intensely private man, Nabokov was uprooted first by the Russian Revolution and then by World War II. Transformed into a permanent wanderer, he did not achieve fame until late in life, with the success of Lolita. In this first of two volumes, Brian Boyd vividly describes the liberal milieu of the aristocratic Nabokovs, their escape from Russia, Nabokov's education at Cambridge, and the murder of his father in Berlin. Boyd then turns to the years that Nabokov spent, impoverished, in Germany and France, until the coming of Hitler forced him to flee, with wife and son, to the United States. This volume stands on its own as a fascinating exploration of Nabokov's Russian years and Russian worlds, prerevolutionary and migr. In the course of his ten years' work on the biography, Boyd traveled along Nabokov's trail everywhere from Yalta to Palo Alto. The only scholar to have had free access to the Nabokov archives in Montreux and the Library of Congress, he also interviewed at length Nabokov's family and scores of his friends and associates. For the general reader, Boyd offers an introduction to Nabokov the man, his works, and his world. For the specialist, he provides a basis for all future research on Nabokov's life and art, as he dates and describes the composition of all Nabokov's works, published and unpublished. Boyd investigates Nabokov's relation to and his independence from his time, examines the special structures of his mind and thought, and explains the relations between his philosophy and his innovations of literary strategy and style. At the same time he provides succinct introductions to all the fiction, dramas, memoirs, and major verse; presents detailed analyses of the major books that break new ground for the scholar, while providing easy paths into the works for other readers; and shows the relationship between Nabokov's life and the themes and subjects of his art.
Brian Boyd is Distinguished University Professor in the Department of English at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He is the author of the prize-winning Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years (Princeton 1990), Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years (Princeton 1991), and Nabokov's Ada: The Place of Consciousness. Referred to in a recent journal as "the great man of Nabokov studies," he has also edited Nabokov's English novels and autobiography for the Library of America and Nabokov's Butterflies for Beacon Press.
稼轩的高歌有桃花水相和;《毛传》有郑玄作注;纳博科夫不再孤独,当他等来了博伊德;纳博科夫和博伊德有福了,当他们遇见刘佳林这样的译者。 新西兰学者博伊德的两本纳博科夫传是当代极具权威的纳博科夫传记,他较为完整地研究了纳博科夫的生平、思想与创作。作者全面深入地...
評分纳博科夫所坚持的文学的最高道德: “我相信,有朝一日会重新鉴定并宣告:我并非一只轻浮的火鸟,而是一位固执的道德家,抨击罪恶,谴责愚蠢,嘲笑庸俗和残忍——崇尚温柔、才华和自尊。” …… 纳博科夫的“庸人”理论,定义是: 没有创造力的、受社会时尚牵制、对自我精神没...
評分英国作家格雷厄姆•格林在评论狄更斯的文章中曾有过这样的想法,认为每个伟大作家的体内都生活着一个孩子,他们就是用小孩子的眼光来观看他们书写的世界的。纳博科夫持有相同的观点,他在《说吧,记忆》一书中写道:“童年饱含着成熟创造力的主要成分”。如果我们将他的童年...
評分纳博科夫是一个坚定的个性主义者。所谓个性主义,就是坚持独立思考,不惧权威,与庸俗为敌。可以说,这是他成为文学大家的原因,也是他容易被人误解的原因。无论是写作、阅读,还是研究鳞翅目的蝴蝶,纳博科夫无一例外都把细节放在了第一位,而且都秉持着一种个性主义原则。也...
評分<纳博科夫传>无疑是一把进入纳博科夫幽灵的钥匙。对深入纳氏伟大的俄罗斯人格以及镶嵌(对了,还是用融入两个字吧)了伟大的的俄罗斯人格的具有上帝光芒的文字提供了一条光线微弱的道路。纳氏的文字在无限的透明的背后或者侧面有着无数的命运、分歧以及患难,太多的头绪与线...
