Sobre este artículo
2x issues of the Literary Journal 'Encounter' containing significant Vladimir NABOKOV contributions in the English language. Both volumes are in Very Good condition with pencil name to covers. July 1962 includes the article "Pushkin and Gannibal - A Footnote" (Pg 11-26), February 1966 includes "Nabokov's Reply" to his critics (Pg 80-89) - a 10 page essay in which Nabokov defends his translation skills. These issues of Encounter also include many other literary pieces and advertisements including Jorge Luis Borges' Two Stories 'The Circular Ruins' and 'The Library of Babel'. This listing is for both issues together.
Encounter was a literary magazine founded in 1953 by poet Stephen Spender and journalist Irving Kristol. It was a largely Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal, originally associated with the anti-Stalinist left. The magazine received covert funding from the Central Intelligence Agency, after the CIA and MI6 discussed the founding of an "Anglo-American left-of-centre publication" intended to counter the idea of cold war neutralism. The magazine was rarely critical of American foreign policy and generally shaped its content to support the geopolitical interests of the United States government. The launch of Encounter was sponsored by the Paris-based Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), which was an organization of largely centre-left artists and intellectuals founded in 1950. It was dedicated, in line with its title, to countering on behalf of the non-communist West the overtures and influence in culture of the Soviet Union, still under the Communist Party rule of Joseph Stalin until 1953. Encounter celebrated its greatest years in terms of readership and influence during the 1960s, under Melvin J. Lasky, who succeeded Kristol in 1958, and would serve as the main editor until the magazine ceased publication in 1991.
