[Read by Anna Fields]
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Hailed by critics as both ''monumental'' (Boston Globe) and ''utterly romantic'' (New York magazine), Stacy Schiff's Vera, the story of Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov, brings to shimmering life one of the greatest literary love stories of our time. Vladimir Nabokov -- the emigre' author of Lolita, Pale Fire, and Speak, Memory -- wrote his books first for himself, second for his wife.
Set in prewar Europe and postwar America, spanning much of the twentieth century, the story of the Nabokov's fifty-two-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. Vera, both beautiful and brilliant, is its outsized heroine -- a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy. Stacy Schiff's Vera is a triumph of the biographical form.
