Nabokov, Vladimir Vladimirovic, 1899-1977

Pale fire / Vladimir Nabokov. - 245 pages 20 cm

Originally published: London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 1962.

The American poet John Shade is dead; murdered. His last poem, Pale Fire, is put into a book, together with a preface, a lengthy commentary and notes by Shades's editor, Charles Kinbote. Known on campus as the 'Great Beaver', Kinbote is haughty and intolerant, but also mad, bad - and even dangerous. As his wildly eccentric annotations slide into the personal and the fantastical, Kinbote reveals perhaps more than he should.
