Nabokov's Dozen by Vladimir Nabokov

Introducing Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith.

I somehow acquired the feeling that she was less happy than I, less loved

Thirteen stylishly inventive stories make up Nabokov's baker's dozen. From Russia to the Mediterranean, a German lake to new worlds, these tales of memory and escape show elusive glimpses of fleeting happiness, which, like the shimmer of the sea, sparkle brilliantly only to dissolve again.

Vladimir Nabokov, 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, famous for his novels, stories, an autobiography, poems, plays, essays and reviews.

Only available as part of our 3 for £27 Little Clothbound Classics Summer Collection collection.
