Nikolka Peach. Anya in Wonderland
9.99 €
This edition includes two books translated by Vladimir Nabokov in 1920-1923: "Nikolka Peach" ("Cola Brunion") by Romain Rolland and "Anya in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll. From childhood speaking French and English, Nabokov at the beginning of his writing career took on two equally difficult to translate works and showed a virtuoso mastery of the Russian language, managing to reproduce the wordplay, imagery and poetry of the originals. In this respect, the translation experiments of the future author of "Dar" and "Ada" reveal the rudiments of his sophisticated literary style. "Nikolka Peach" became, apparently, the first Russian translation of "Col Brunnion," while "Anya in Wonderland" was recognized as one of the best translations of "Alice" into Russian.
