出版社：广西师范大学出版社,2009

简介：　　 本书从纳博科夫的家族历史与完美童年写起，到纳博科夫一家踏上美 　　利坚国土前一刻结束，在时间段上与纳氏唯一一部自传回忆录《说吧，记 　　忆》刚好重合。在这部享誉世界的纳博科夫评传中，纳氏虚实相间欲与还 　　休的记忆不曾说出的，博伊德替他说了下去；纳博科夫的读者们不曾读懂 　　的，博伊德替他们读了出来。纳博科夫毕生创作中所有精心埋藏的典雅谜 　　题，向读者发出的狡黠挑战，都被博伊德一一破解——也许，他正是纳博 　　科夫所召唤的那个最优秀的读者。 　　 作为纳博科夫最权威的研究者和传记作者，博伊德以一个学者的深邃 　　，一个理想读者的洞察力，一个讲故事好手的天资，勾勒纳博科夫生平跌 　　宕，专注于刻写其"生命纹理"，更在对其作品的详尽解读与“解密”上做 　　足功夫，是一部纳博科夫爱好者与研究者们无法绕行的“纳氏宝典”。 　　 博伊德重拾纳博科夫抖落的回忆线头，甄别，辨伪，组合，串连，翻 　　转，复原了纳博科夫在圣彼得堡、克里米亚、柏林、巴黎的生活场景，并 　　带领读者一路蜿蜒而行，穿梭于其生活与创作之间。博伊德致力于纳博科 　　夫谜一般的个性及其对其创作的影响，揭示出纳博科夫对人类意识的哲学 　　思考，描述其哲学观的发展轨迹，并就这些观念之于其艺术创作的影响加 　　以阐发，辅以大量精致透辟、独具慧眼的文本细读，提炼出纳氏其文其人 　　所独有的诗学特征：独立与花样。他指出，作为一名作家、昆虫学家与博 　　物学家，纳博科夫唤醒了我们对细节、整体与和谐的注意，他提醒我们， 　　只要不以想当然的眼光看世界，我们就会发现庸常的生活洪流中潜藏着的 　　艺术品质，从而深入一个更加丰饶的世界；在感受作家无穷的创造力的同 　　时，看到世界那无限的创造的神奇。我们是时间与个体意识的囚徒，然而 　　，在艺术或科学中，在记忆、想象、意志与良知之下，人类心灵可以自由 　　驰骋，穿越自我的禁锢与时间的铁栅。 　　 源于热爱与懂得，博伊德的评传与纳博科夫的行文风格一脉相承，其 　　结构之完美，论述之精妙，解读之细腻，引征之繁复，行文之诗意，蕴涵 　　之丰盈，无处不流溢出大家气魄，至今无出其右者。

简介：     "Anna Karenina," by Leo Tolstoy, is part of the "Barnes and Noble Classics"" "series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of "Barnes and Noble Classics": New introductions commissioned from today's top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader's viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices and Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. "Barnes and Noble Classics "pulls together a constellation of influences-biographical, historical, and literary-to enrich each reader's understanding of these enduring works. Vladimir Nabokov called Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina" "one of the greatest love stories in world literature." Matthew Arnold claimed it was not so much a work of art as "a piece of life." Set in imperial Russia, "Anna Karenina" is a rich and complex meditation on passionate love and disastrous infidelity. Married to a powerful government minister, Anna Karenina is a beautiful woman who falls deeply in love with a wealthy army officer, the elegant Count Vronsky. Desperate to find truth and meaning in her life, she rashly defies the conventions of Russian society andleaves her husband and son to live with her lover. Condemned and ostracized by her peers and prone to fits of jealousy that alienate Vronsky, Anna finds herself unable to escape an increasingly hopeless situation. Set against this tragic affair is the story of Konstantin Levin, a melancholy landowner whom Tolstoy based largely on himself. While Anna looks for happiness through love, Levin embarks on his own search for spiritual fulfillment through marriage, family, and hard work. Surrounding these two central plot threads are dozens of characters whom Tolstoy seamlessly weaves together, creating a breathtaking tapestry of nineteenth-century Russian society. From its famous opening sentence-"Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way"-to its stunningly tragic conclusion, this enduring tale of marriage and adultery plumbs the very depths of the human soul.Amy Mandelker, Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, is the author of "Framing Anna Karenina: Tolstoy, the Woman Question, and the Victorian Novel" and coeditor of "Approaches to Teaching Anna Karenina,"

简介："This critical text examines the ways in which Vladimir Nabokov, one of the twentieth century's great novelists, structured his novels to encapsulate his metaphysical beliefs. At the heart of his work is a profound respect for what's missing, for unsolvable riddles, for questions even at the expense of answers. Nabokov's techniques reveal an enduring reverence for permanent mystery"--Provided by publisher.

“You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, themind on fire . . . With a single bound, Gabriel García Márquezleaps onto the stage with Günter Grass and Vladimir Nabokov, hisappetite as enormous as his imagination, his fatalism greater thaneither. Dazzling.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES“García Márquez forces upon usat every page the wonder and extravagance of life, whilecompassionately mocking its effusions; and when the book ends . . .we are left with that pleasant exhaustion which only very greatnovels provide . . . [García Márquez] makes us feel as if we hadsurvived his century of articulate dreams only to awaken anddiscover that they must finally all come true.”—THE NEW YORK REVIEWOF BOOKS“In a beautiful translation, surrealism and innocence blendto form a wholly individual style. Like rum calentano, the storygoes down easily, leaving a rich, sweet burning flavorbehind.”—TIME“Rabassa's translation is a triumph of fluent, gravidmomentum, all stylishness and commonsensical virtuosity . . .García Márquez feeds the mind's eye non-stop . . .

简介：From the shootings at Columbine High School to the JonBenet Ramsey murder to the sentencing of "killer kids," today's media cannot decide if children are objects of fear or in need of protection. Our culture's deep-seated ambivalence toward its young is reflected in a fascinating array of recent fiction that exposes society's collective fantasies and fears. Demon or Doll investigates the ambiguous, contradictory ways childhood has been formulated in the twentieth century and the resulting ambivalence reflected in contemporary fiction. Grounding her exploration in a discussion of traditional constructions of childhood and the influence of the Romantics, Ellen Pifer shows how Dickens translated the Romantic idyll of original innocence into poignant images of "poor children," abused or abandoned by a harsh, increasingly mechanical society. At the turn of the twentieth century, Henry James created provocative images of childhood that anticipated the contemporary, post-Freudian child. Pifer engages a diverse and distinguished body of work by a global range of authors, addressing in each chapter a novel or cluster of novels in which the child's image serves as a nexus for investigating literary and cultural issues. The theories and observations of social historians, psychologists, and cultural critics--from Philippe Ari s to Raymond Williams, Freud to Foucault--clarify the significance of the child's created image. Novels by William Golding, Doris Lessing, Milan Kundera, Toni Morrison, Salman Rushdie, and Jerzy Kosinski bring readers face to face with shattered, often grotesque images of the child. But several of postwar fiction's most experimental writers, including Vladimir Nabokov, Don DeLillo, and Ian McEwan, create texts that render surprising faith in original innocence. Whether the contemporary image of childhood appears intact or fractured, wholesome or horrifying, its many facets create a mirror in which we seek glimpses of our elusive, original selves.

Colour Mania /

作者：  [edited and produced by Viction:workshop Ltd.]

出版社：

简介：Green with envy. Feeling blue. White lies. Grey areas. In every language spoken on earth human beings use colors to express themselves. World-renowned author, Vladimir Nabokov, claimed he could hear color and actually assigned a color to each letter of the alphabet based on each letter's particular sound. The Eskimos of the Polar Regions have countless words that uniquely describe the color white. In the world of graphics some designers have devoted their entire body of work to one color, sometimes showing it off in all of its full-bodied glory, sometimes stripping it back to its barest essentials. Colour Mania brings together an eclectic group of talented designers who have one thing in common: they are artists who simply can't get enough of one particular color - be that red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black or white. This book offers a depth of understanding of individual colors that is unprecedented.

简介："Galya Diment explores the complicated and fascinating relationship between Vladimir Nabokov and his Cornell colleague Marc Szeftel who, in the estimate of many, served as the prototype for the gentle protagonist of the novel Pnin. She offers astute comments on Nabokov's fictional process in creating Timofey Pnin and addresses hotly debated questions and long-standing riddles in Pnin and its history." "Pniniad - the epic of Pnin - begins with Szeftel's early life in Russia and ends with his years in Seattle at the University of Washington, turning pivotally upon the time when Szeftel's and Nabokov's lives intersected at Cornell. Nabokov apparently was both amused by and admiring of the innocence of his historian friend. Szeftel's feelings toward Nabokov were also mixed, ranging from intense disappointment over rebuffed attempts to collaborate with Nabokov on a scholarly study (of a medieval Russian epic) or to write about his work (Lolita), to persistent envy of Nabokov's success and an increasing wistfulness over his own sense of failure. A generous selection of relevant archival materials includes Szeftel's autobiographical writings, his talks and published essays relating to Nabokov, and his correspondence with Nabokov and Roman Jakobson."--BOOK JACKET.

简介：The standard histories of Zionism have depicted it almost exclusively as a Jewish political movement, one in which Christians do not appear except as antagonists. In the highly original Zeal for Zion , Shalom Goldman makes the case for a wider and more inclusive history, one that brings the substantial Christian involvement with Zionism--most recently by American evangelical Protestants--into the light. Goldman offers a fresh perspective on the history of Zionism, deftly weaving together the stories of poets and diplomats, Christian scholars and Jewish leaders, the Vatican and the State of Israel, and modern literary masters such as Jorge Luis Borges, Robert Graves, and Vladimir Nabokov. Goldman argues that Jewish Zionism was influenced by--and cannot be understood in isolation from--Christian culture generally and Christian Zionist culture specifically. Shedding light on the deep and interrelated roots of Christian-Jewish relations, fraught with tension and ambivalence, he finds that Christian support for the Jewish Zionist cause has been essential to the success of the movement. Christian Zionism has a long history and has been embraced at various times by Catholics and Protestants, liberals and conservatives, reformers and traditionalists. Zeal for Zion places this vital movement within the larger history of Zionism, making the story of Zionism all the more rich and complex.

简介： At the age of twenty-one, Brian Boyd wrote a thesis on Vladimir Nabokov that the famous author called "brilliant." After gaining exclusive access to the writer's archives, he wrote a two-part, award-winning biography, Vladimir Nabokov: The Russian Years(1990) and Vladimir Nabokov: The American Years(1991). This collection features essays written by Boyd since completing the biography, incorporating material he gleaned from his research as well as new discoveries and formulations. Boyd confronts Nabokov's life, career, and legacy; his art, science, and thought; his subtle humor and puzzle-like storytelling; his complex psychological portraits; and his inheritance from, reworking of, and affinities with Shakespeare, Pushkin, Tolstoy, and Machado de Assis. Boyd offers new ways of reading Nabokov's best English-language works: Lolita, Pale Fire, Ada, and the unparalleled autobiography, Speak, Memory, and he discloses otherwise unknown information about the author's world. Sharing his personal reflections, Boyd recounts the adventures, hardships, and revelations of researching Nabokov's biography and his unusual finds in the archives, including materials still awaiting publication. The first to focus on Nabokov's metaphysics, Boyd cautions against their being used as the key to unlock all of the author's secrets, showing instead the many other rooms in Nabokov's castle of fiction that need exploring, such as his humor, narrative invention, and psychological insight into characters and readers alike. Appreciating Nabokov as novelist, memoirist, poet, translator, scientist, and individual, Boyd helps us understand more than ever the author's multifaceted genius.

简介：The prose writings of Vladimir Nabokov form one of the most intriguing oeuvres of the twentieth century. His novels, which include Despair, Lolitaand Pale Fire, have been celebrated for their stylistic artistry, their formal complexity, and their unique treatment of themes of memory, exile, loss, and desire. This collection of essays offers readings of several novels as well as discussions of Nabokov's exchange of views about literature with Edmund Wilson, and his place in the 1960s and contemporary popular culture. The volume brings together a diverse group of Nabokovian readers, of widely divergent scholarly backgrounds, interests, and approaches. Together they shift the focus from the manipulative games of author and text to the restless and sometimes resistant reader, and suggest new ways of enjoying these endlessly fascinating texts.
