«Marías es sencillamente asombroso». -Ali Smith

Javier Marías rinde homenaje en este libro a uno de los novelistas contemporáneos que más admiraba: Vladimir Nabokov. Su intención era conmemorar a un escritor con el que se sentía en deuda literaria y animar a los lectores a que lo busquen con más frecuencia.

Marías nos cuenta, por ejemplo, que un día de 1950 la mujer de Nabokov, Véra, logró detenerlo cuando se disponía a quemar los primeros capítulos de Lolita, agobiado por las dudas y las dificultades. También que le molestaba mucho que le atribuyeran influencias, fueran de Joyce, Kafka, Proust o de Dostoyevski. Y que los mayores éxtasis los experimentó a solas: cazando mariposas, creando problemas de ajedrez, traduciendo a Pushkin y escribiendo.

Una semblanza titulada «Vladimir Nabokov en éxtasis», la traducción de dieciocho poemas, algunos problemas de ajedrez con sus soluciones en versión de Félix de Azúa, los artículos «El canon Nabokov» y «Fantasmas leídos», la pieza «La novela más melancólica (Lolita recontada)» y una selecta colección de fotografías conforman este emocionante testimonio.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Javier Marías's tribute to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov.

"Marías is simply amazing." -Ali Smith

In this book, Javier Marías pays homage to one of the contemporary novelists he admired most: Vladimir Nabokov. Its goal is both to commemorate an author to whom felt indebted and to inspire readers to explore Nabokov's books for themselves.

Marías tells us about the day in 1950 when Nabokov's wife, Véra, managed to stop the frustrated author from burning the first few chapters of Lolita. We learn that he hated hearing critics cite his supposed influences, whether Joyce, Kafka, Proust or Dostoyevski. And that he found his greatest joys in solitary pursuits: collecting butterflies, solving chess problems, translating Pushkin, and writing.

A biographical sketch entitled "Vladimir Nabokov in Bliss"; 18 translated poems, chess problems and the Félix de Azúa version of their solutions; the articles "The Nabokov Canon" and "Read Ghosts"; "The Most Melancholy Novel (Lolita Retold)"; and a curated selection of photos add up to a moving tribute to one of the most influential authors of our time.

Good Fit Out of the Box
Size: 9, Color: Black
The shoes came with the correct size and is a good fit. They were originally pretty stiff, but are much better now after breaking them in. They look good. but as other's have said, they are made of synthetic leather and in my opinion have kind of a plastic look to them. The quality is good with ridged rubbber soles. I thought they were kind of expensive, but then again I haven't purchased these type of shoes in a while. A family member told me that if they were real leather, they would have been a lot more expensive. For what the shoes are I would recommend the purchase.

I wanted to love these
Size: 9, Color: Black Leather
These are very good looking in person, especially the buckles and the pop of red on black. Alas, I have another pair of Marc Joseph shoes to compare comfort and fit, and this pair simply hurts my feet.
