Vladimir Nabokov's book of memoirs, Other Shores (1954), has an unusual structure and purpose: reconstructing the distant past - from the early years of the twentieth century to May 1940 - he tries to discover in it the development and repetition of secret themes in manifest destiny. Even the most tragic years of Russian and European history, which Nabokov witnessed, cannot prevent such development and repetition. In spite of time and space, the author of "The Gift" and "Lolita" strives with unprecedented art and persistence to return to his happy childhood at his homestead - if not in the flesh, then as his own "double in an American coat on vicuna fur.
