Vera (Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov) ~ Stacy Schiff

Medium soft cover
Good condition
456 pages

ISBN 0-330-34673-3

A Pulitzer Prize-winning biography that delves into the life of Vera Nabokov, the wife of the famous author Vladimir Nabokov. The book explores their remarkable partnership, and the significant role Vera played in her husband's literary career.

Vera Nabokov was not only Vladimir's wife but also his muse, editor, and translator. The biography traces her journey from her affluent childhood in St. Petersburg, through the dramatic escape from Bolshevik Russia to her life in Weimar Berlin, where she met Vladimir. The book highlights Vera's unwavering support and dedication to her husband's work, including her role in saving the manuscript of "Lolita" from being destroyed.

Stacy Schiff paints a vivid portrait of Vera as a woman of intelligence, strength, and resilience, who was instrumental in shaping Vladimir Nabokov's literary legacy. The biography is a testament to their enduring love and the profound impact Vera had on her husband's success
