Penguin Modern Classics: The Collected Stories Of Vladimir Nabokov

Written in inimitable, magical prose, these sixty-five stories span Nabokov’s extraordinary life and career. Arranged chronologically to illuminate his development as a writer, the collection displays Nabokov’s astonishing range of technical and formal inventiveness: the dazzling sleight of hand, fanciful fairy tales, ingenious puzzles, enchanting vignettes and haunting melancholic narratives full of disturbing ambiguities.
