After a brilliant literary career in Russian, Vladimir Nabokov came to the United States and went on to an even more brilliant one in English-earning a place as one of the greatest writers of his adopted home. Between 1941-1974 he published the autobiography and eight novels now collected by The Library of America in an authoritative three-volume set. This first volume contains The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Nabokov's first novel; Bend Sinister, the haunting story of a quiet philosophy professor caught up in the bureaucratic terror of a totalitarian police state; and Speak, Memory, Nabokov's dazzling memoir of his childhood. All texts have been corrected based on the author's own copies. Two companion volumes collect Lolita, Pnin, Pale Fire, Lolita: A Screenplay, and Ada, Transparent Things, and Look at the Harlequins!.

After a brilliant literary career in Russian, Vladimir Nabokov came to the United States and went on to an even more brilliant one in English-earning a place as one of the greatest writers of his adopted home. This second volume begins with the controversial novel, Lolita, the satiric and poignant "confession" of a middle-aged European's passionate obsession with a 12-year-old American "nymphet," and the story of their wanderings across late 1940s America. Nabokov's original film adaptation is also included. Pnin is a comic masterpiece about an emigrư professor in an American college town who never quite masters its language, politics, or train schedule. Pale Fire is an ostensibly autobiographical poem with wildly digressive commentary by an unbalanced academic. All texts have been corrected based on the author's own copies. Two companion volumes collect The Real Life of Sebastian Knight; Bend Sinister; Speak, Memory; and Ada; Transparent Things; and Look at the Harlequins!.
