Queste poesie magistrali abbracciano i decenni della carriera di Nabokov, da "Music", scritta nel 1914, alla breve e giocosa "To Vera", composta nel 1974. "The University Poem", una delle principali opere poetiche di Nabokov, è qui in inglese per la prima volta: una straordinaria poesia autobiografica che ripercorre il suo periodo a Cambridge, con le sue cene, le sue ragazze e i suoi ricordi, è intrisa di una descrizione ricca, arguzia e destrezza verbale. Sono inclusi anche il surreale e comico "A Literary Dinner", l'incantevole "Eve", l'ironica e umoristica "An Evening of Russian Poetry" e una meditazione sull'atto della creazione, "Tolstoj", oltre a versi scritti sull'America, i lepidotteri, lo sport, l'amore e la patria russa di Nabokov.

Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), born in St Petersburg, exiled in Cambridge, Berlin, and Paris, became the greatest Russian writer of the first half of the twentieth century. Fleeing to the US with his family in 1940, he then became the greatest writer in English of the second half of the century, and even 'God's own novelist' (William Deresiewicz). He lived in Europe from 1959 onwards, and died in Montreux, Switzerland. All his major works - novels, stories, an autobiography, poems, plays, lectures, essays and reviews - are published in Penguin Modern Classics.
