Lectures on foreign literature
14.99 €
In "Lectures on Foreign Literature", first published in 1980, the greatest Russian-American writer of the twentieth century Vladimir Nabokov appeared before his admirers, who knew him mainly as a virtuoso artist of the word, in other, sometimes unexpected hypostasis: thoughtful reader, insightful, meticulous and yet very biased researcher, temperamental and demanding teacher. The book is based on the lecture course "Masters of European Prose", prepared for students at Cornell University, where the writer taught in 1940-1950-ies. In the pages of this volume, Nabokov the lecturer gives his audience a superb lesson in "close reading" of the works of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Robert Lewis Stevenson, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, and James Joyce.
