In his second novel, written in Berlin, "King, Queen, Jack" (1928) Vladimir Nabokov turns to the material from German life and for the first time is taken for a deep study of philistine psychology, continued later in "Camera Obscura" and "Despair". Behind the criminal plot with a love triangle lies a masterfully revealed opposition of two polar ways of life: stenciled, soulless, brought to automaticity, and natural, full-blooded, creative. In the conventional world of advertising and fashion magazines is objectified as if the very consciousness and nature of the young "lady", the protagonist of the book, and vice versa, unexpected poetry filled with the life and projects of her husband, a wealthy merchant Dreyer, - "king" in the complex game that leads with the reader Nabokov. This edition is supplemented by an episode from the extended English version of the novel, translated into Russian for the first time.
