Poems 1918-1947. Superman's Song of Lament
9.99 €
This collection of poems by Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) includes both well-known and newly published works written in Europe and America between 1918 and 1947. Recently deciphered and newly found poems in the writer's archive, including "The Legend of the Moon" (1920), "Electricity" (1920), "In the North Wild" (1920), "Olympicum" (1921), significantly complement the Russian part of his bilingual poetic baggage and open up unknown sides in his creative formation. The poetry of the famous author of "Lolita" and "Ada" reveals the origins and prerequisites of the originality of his prose: subtle psychologism, picturesque visualization of descriptions, accurate observations, a special "mirroring" style, a combination of fiction and autobiography. The poems "Two" (1919), "The Legend of the Moon", "Electricity", "In the North Wild" are published for the first time; the text of the most significant of Nabokov's early poems "Sunny Dream" (1923) is checked anew with the manuscript. The Appendix contains another recent archival find, "Superman's Complaint Song" (1942), an original Nabokovian interpretation of the American comic book hero. The edition is provided with commentaries and illustrative material.
