Hell or Joy (1969) is the pinnacle of Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977), the largest and most significant of his novels, reflecting half a century of literary and scientific experience as a bilingual writer. Written in the form of a family chronicle spanning a century and a half and a long line of characters, it is perhaps the most extraordinary love story ever told in any language. “Tragic separations, reckless dates and a delightful finale in the tenth decade” of the cosmopolitan existence of the two main characters, Van and Ada, take place against the backdrop of epoch-making events taking place on distant Antiterra, which is gradually acquiring earthly features, refracted by the writer’s magic crystal. The novel is published in a new translation prepared by Andrey Babikov, with translator's comments.
