Nabokov's Dozen by Vladimir Nabokov Franklin Library Edition, 1977

Description: Historical Context for Nabokov's Dozen by Vladimir Nabokov (Franklin Library Edition, 1977): Vladimir Nabokov: Vladimir Nabokov was a Russian-American writer and one of the most acclaimed authors of the 20th century. Best known for works like Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, Nabokov’s prose is celebrated for its intricate structure, vivid imagery, and linguistic playfulness. Nabokov's Dozen is a collection of thirteen short stories that demonstrate Nabokov's mastery in a variety of themes, including memory, exile, and mortality. Nabokov's Dozen: First published in 1958, Nabokov's Dozen is a collection of short stories written by Nabokov during his time in America. These stories span multiple themes and genres but often explore existential questions, human nature, and the concept of time. They reflect Nabokov’s deeply intellectual style combined with his flair for literary wit. The collection contains notable works such as "Spring in Fialta," "Signs and Symbols," and "First Love." Each story offers insight into Nabokov’s rich narrative techniques, often drawing on his experience as an immigrant and scholar of Russian and European literature. Franklin Library was a well-known American publishing company specializing in high-quality, limited-edition books, particularly for collectors. From 1973 to 2000, they published numerous works of classic and contemporary literature, featuring luxurious bindings, often with gold-edged pages and illustrations by prominent artists. This edition of Nabokov's Dozen, published in 1977, is part of Franklin Library's limited-edition series. The illustrations by John Keely add a special touch to this edition, with each story paired with visual representations that enhance Nabokov’s detailed and symbolic prose.
