Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov was born on April 23, 1899, in St. Petersburg, Russia. The Nabokov household was trilingual, and as a young man, he studied Slavic and romance languages at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking his honors degree in 1922. For the next eighteen years he lived in Berlin and Paris, writing prolifically in Russian under the pseudonym Sirin and supporting himself through translations, lessons in English and tennis, and by composing the first crossword puzzles in Russian. In 1925 he married Vera Slonim, with whom he had one child, a son, Dmitri. Having already fled Russia and Germany, Nabokov became a refugee once more in 1940, when he was forced to leave France for the United States. There he taught at Wellesley, Harvard, and Cornell. He also gave up writing in Russian and began composing ficticvbn ral books of criticism. Vladimir Nabokov died in Montreux, Switzerland, in 1977.

每次读大师的作品,读完后总感觉是体内相当消耗了“一部分”。 就像一次马拉松之旅,把自己榨干,很享受! 记得三年多前第一次读《微暗的火》,当时的文学修养很低(当然现在也好不了多少),读到一半,读不下去,因为在这个迷宫里迷失了,完全不知方向在哪里,之后比其他书吸...
评分 评分(参见172行注释) 这样的括号内容让自己忍不住笑了一下,只是引用一下谢德的一句话(p171)。 为什么我能读进去?经常怀疑自己对晦涩的的作品的阅读欣赏,到底是否“读懂”了。什么叫做“读懂”?这个词也许本身也没什么意义。在这样的懵懂中,我却愿意说,很好看,也值得看。...
评分从去年11月到今年2月,整整拖了三个多月,终于把这本迷宫一样的书读完了。不知为何,读此书的过程总被各种事情打断,而一旦被打断我便没有毅力一口气读下去,于是搁置在那里,看别的书去了。也许,读此书正如潜水,必先深深吸好一口气,鼓起勇气猛扎入水底,入水越深,才越能体...

In Pale Fire Nabokov offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures: a 999-line poem by the reclusive genius John Shade; an adoring foreword and commentary by Shade's self-styled Boswell, Dr. Charles Kinbote; a darkly comic novel of suspense, literary idolatry and one-upmanship, and political intrigue.
纳博科夫给我的启示就是,minor literature作者风格不见得就比母语作者的差。用另外一种语言反而是一种解域,是一台向语言注入生命力的机器。
评分太疯狂了,活活逼死读者。一遍英文,一遍中文还是一头雾水,完全是纳式口中嘲讽的idiot reader,心塞。
评分I was the shadow of the waxwing slain By the false azure in the windowpane 我是那惨遭杀害的连雀的阴影,凶手是窗玻璃那片虚假的碧空。
评分Yes, Read Nabokov, you have to read the English.
评分四星半。这是一部poetic novel,还是novelized poem?其实这一点不重要。非常可贵的一点是,纳博科夫在这样的作品中,对语言的挥发和现代性的探索,要比他汲汲追求的诗歌(传统意义上的)更具价值意义。从这一点上,他要比作为“诗人”的乔伊斯看的通透。我相信于此他是有所自觉的。
