Penguin Classics, 2012 Now hard to find in this collectable edition. A stunning and timely edition, with a special introduction by Thomas Karshan. Nabokov's first love was poetry, and his fascination for it was something he pursued all his life. By incorporating poetry into his novels, most notably in Pale Fire, he probably sent many of his readers off in search of his poetry collections. The Shade poems from Pale Fire are not included in this collection, perhaps because Nabokov was consciously adopting the voice of another character. But what is refreshing about this volume is the new translations from the Russian by Nabokov's son, Dmitri. This is a fabulous volume containing work that is decidedly 'modern' but easily accessible. It is enormously enjoyable. Always clever, frequently charming, this is a delightful volume for poetry lovers everywhere. It is essential for Nabokov fans. Protected jacket, first hardback printing, and unread.. 1st Edition.. Hardcover. New/New.
