Lecciones magistrales en las que Nabokov, un genio de la literatura, indaga en la obra de los grandes escritores del pasado.

Vladimir Nabokov, exiliado de su país y con pocas esperanzas de regresar algún día, estaba capacitado como nadie para introducir a sus alumnos en la obra de los grandes maestros rusos: Gógol, Turguéniev, Tolstói, Gorki, Dostoyevski o Chéjov. Esas lecciones apasionadas y polémicas, reconstruidas por Fredson Bowers a partir de los apuntes del escritor, son una ocasión única para asistir a sus clases y releer a fondo la literatura rusa del siglo XIX.

A lo largo de casi dos décadas, antes de saltar a la fama con Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov impartió cursos de literatura en las universidades estadounidenses de Wellesley y Cornell, y sus clases se han vuelto legendarias. No es frecuente que los estudiantes tengan por maestro a uno de los mejores autores del momento, pero tampoco que un novelista añada a su talento una vocación didáctica tan nítida y eficaz, y tan libre de convencionalismos académicos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The acclaimed author presents his unique insights into the works of great Russian authors including Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Gogol, Gorky, and Chekhov.

In the 1940s, when Vladimir Nabokov first embarked on his academic career in the United States, he brought with him hundreds of original lectures on the authors he most admired. For two decades those lectures served as the basis for Nabokov's teaching, first at Wellesley and then at Cornell, as he introduced undergraduates to the delights of great fiction.

This volume collects Nabokov's famous lectures on nineteenth-century Russian literature, with analysis and commentary on Nikolay Gogol's Dead Souls and "The Overcoat"; Ivan Turgenev's Fathers and Sons; Maxim Gorky's "On the Rafts"; Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina and The Death of Ivan Ilych; two short stories and a play by Anton Chekhov; and several works by Fyodor Dostoevsky, including Crime and Punishment, The Idiot, and The Possessed.

This volume also includes Nabokov's lectures on the art of translation, the nature of Russian censorship, and other topics. Featured throughout the volume are photographic reproductions of Nabokov's original notes.

interesting OV
Format: Kindle
This is definitely a type of OV story I am familiar with just with some unique components that make it its own story. If you’ve read a lot of OV then this plot will be easy to follow and enjoyable.

Loved this omegaverse romance

♡Knot Their Darling was such a fun omegaverse escape! The story is fast, flirty, and full of heat, with characters that made me smile and swoon all at once. Candy Marie gave just the right mix of spice and sweetness—I couldn’t stop turning the pages.♡

FMC PMO
Format: Kindle
I just felt like two things 1. The character development wasn’t there the character consistency wasn’t there, especially with the FMC. 2. The FMC would literally make the guys feel bad and keep bringing up that they don’t want her there, but then her whole thing has been. I don’t wanna be here so either you wanna be there or not but if you give off vibes that you don’t wanna be there people are not gonna want you there.
