In Lectures on Foreign Literature, first published in 1980, Vladimir Nabokov, the greatest Russian-American writer of the 1940th century, appeared before his admirers, who knew him mainly as a virtuoso word-artist, in other, sometimes unexpected guises: a thoughtful reader, insightful, meticulous and at the same time a very biased researcher, a 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 the 1950s and XNUMXs. In the pages of this volume, the lecturer Nabokov gives his audience an excellent lesson in "close reading" of the works of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Robert Louis Stevenson, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust, and James Joyce.
