"This English version, which was supervised by Nabokov, has those qualities of freshness combined with highly original and detailed observation that make the best Russian books in English seem not so much translations as a special brand of English literature with a peculiarly strong flavor. For many readers this novel will be put on their book shelves beside the stories of Tolstoy and Chekhov... Nabokov is a writer of genius who is digressive, wayward and an imperfect artist. His books though written with immense care, do not seem architecturally planned. What one values in 'The Gift' are passages of great power sustained over many pages." Publisher's noteThe last novel that Vladimir Nabokov wrote in his native Russian. It tells the story of Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, an impoverished emigre poet living in Berlin, who dreams of the book he will someday write--a book very much like THE GIFT itself. AnnotationThe last of the novels Nabokov wrote in Russian consists of five sections, all involving a poet named Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, and unified only by his presiding consciousness. Nabokov considered THE GIFT to be his best novel.
