Camera Obscura (1933) is Vladimir Nabokov's fifth novel, written in Berlin and published under the pseudonym V. Sirin.

The blind passion of wealthy art critic Bruno Kretschmar for the sixteen-year-old model Magda, who dreams of a life of luxury and a film career, leads the hero to the loss of his family, moral catastrophe, and physical blindness. Deceived and helpless, Kretschmar becomes the plaything of Magda's cruel lover, cartoonist Robert Horn.

The painterly precision of detail, the psychological precision of the characters, the novelty of the narrative techniques, and the ruthlessness of a true artist with which Nabokov treats his subject, which astonished readers and critics, anticipated his other famous novel about fatal passion, Lolita.
