Часть текста: язык) Father's Butterflies by Vladimir Nabokov DURING my adolescence, the butterfly enthusiast (" le curieux, " as the honnкtes gens used to put it in judicious France, " the aurelian, " as the poets said in grove-rich England, the "fly doctor," as they wisecracked in advanced Russian circles) who wished to acquire from books a general notion of the fauna of Europe, including Russia, was compelled to scrabble for his crumbs of information in entomological journals in six languages and in multivolume, hard-to-find editions such as the Oberthьr books or those of Grand Duke Nikolai Mikhailovich. The absence or utter inadequacy of "references" in the atlases ad usum Delphini, the tedious perusal of the index of names enclosed with an annual volume of a monthly journal, the sheer number of these journals and volumes (in my father's library there were more than a thousand of the latter alone, representing a good hundred journals) - all this had to be overcome in order to hunt down the necessary reference, if it existed at all. Nonetheless, even in my exceptionally propitious situation things were not easy: Russia, particularly in the north, dwelt in a mist, while the local lists, scattered through...

Часть текста: узурпация трона, изгнание, возвращение и месть наследника. В пантеоне Набокова Пушкин — величайший гений русской литературы, Шекспир — классик английской. Набоков связывает двух гениев метафорой, свидетельствующей о присутствии их сочинений в его творчестве: «Кровь Пушкина течет в жилах новой русской литературы с той же неизбежностью, с какой в английской — кровь Шекспира» [184] . В генетическом коде набоковского искусства соединились две основные культуры, к которым он принадлежал. Искусство воспроизводит себя через взаимное заимствование текстов и культур; это размножение осуществляется посредством перевода. Один текст, отразившись в зеркале другого, обретает новую жизнь, или же, напротив, его формы размываются — все зависит от таланта мастера, создавшего зеркало. В набоковском исповедании веры есть один пункт, весьма важный и недооцененный, в котором говорится: чтобы служить хорошим зеркалом, необходимо досконально изучить отражаемый объект. Настоящий писатель должен внимательно изучать творчество соперников, включая Всевышнего. Он должен обладать врожденной способностью не только вновь перемешивать части данного мира, но и вновь создавать его. Чтобы делать это как следует ...

Часть текста: сведений, заставляющих приверженцев красивого камуфляжа лишь трепетать или глумиться. «Ответ моим критикам» 1 I «Меня будут помнить благодаря „Лолите“ и моему труду о „Евгении Онегине“», — предсказал в 1966 году Набоков 2 . По объему и затраченным усилиям его вызвавший столько споров перевод пушкинского шедевра и тысяча двести страниц сопроводительного комментария обращают остальные его работы в карликов. На то, чтобы сделать Пушкина доступным англоязычному читателю, он потратил столько же времени, сколько ушло на создание всех трех собственных его англоязычных шедевров: «Лолиты», «Бледного огня» и «Ады». Стоила ли затея подобных усилий? Насколько четыре тома его «Евгения Онегина» приближают нас к Пушкину — и к самому Набокову? Как смог писатель, которого, предположительно, в первую очередь занимает прежде всего стиль, а затем уж содержание, создать перевод, нарочито жертвующий каким бы то ни было стилистическим изяществом, чтобы с безжалостной верностью передать буквальное значение пушкинских строк — даже ценой всего их волшебства? И как удалось человеку, последовательно старающемуся отделить художественную литературу от «реальной жизни», предоставить...

Часть текста: 23, 1899. In his memoir, "Speak, Memory," he notes that his first childhood memories can be dated to 1903. Discovering butterflies Nabokov reads a book of butterflies in 1907 at Vyra, the summer estate of his maternal grandfather located about 50 miles south of St. Petersburg. During his youth, Nabokov spent his time collecting butterflies around the Vyra estate, a place which would come to represent the essence of childhood for the writer. Fleeing Russia The Nabokov family fled Russia in 1919 after the Bolshevik revolution led to instability at home. This photo, taken less than six months before they were to leave Russia, shows the five Nabokov children: from left, Vladimir, Kirill, Olga, Sergei and Elena. 2. Exile 1919-1940 Exile in England After fleeing Russia, the family moved to England, where Nabokov attended Trinity College at Cambridge from 1919-1922. He began his studies in zoology but later focused on Russian and French literature. Death of his father Nabokov, shown in larger photo, spends the summer after...

Часть текста: Lolita Foreword “Lolita, or the Confession of a White Widowed Male,” such were the two titles under which the writer of the present note received the strange pages it preambulates. “Humbert Humbert,” their author, had died in legal captivity, of coronary thrombosis, on November 16, 1952, a few days before his trial was scheduled to start. His lawyer, my good friend and relation, Clarence Choate Clark, Esq., now of he District of Columbia bar, in asking me to edit the manuscript, based his request on a clause in his client’s will which empowered my eminent cousin to use the discretion in all matters pertaining to the preparation of “Lolita” for print. Mr. Clark’s decision may have been influenced by the fact that the editor of his choice had just been awarded the Poling Prize for a modest work (“Do the Senses make Sense?”) wherein certain morbid states and perversions had been discussed. My task proved simpler than either of us had anticipated. Save for the correction of obvious solecisms and a careful suppression of a few tenacious details that despite “H. H.”‘s own efforts still subsisted in his text as signposts and tombstones (indicative of places or persons that taste would conceal and compassion spare), this remarkable memoir is presented intact. Its author’s bizarre cognomen is his own invention; and, of course, this maskthrough which two hypnotic eyes seem to glowhad to remain unlifted in accordance with its wearer’s wish. While “Haze” only rhymes with the heroine’s real surname, her first name is too closely interwound with the inmost fiber of the book to allow one to alter it; nor (as the reader will perceive for himself) is there any practical necessity to do so. References to...

Часть текста: on coincidence and chance resemblance. Soyons logiques , crowed the cocky Gallic part of my brainand proceeded to rout the notion of a Lolita-maddened salesman or comedy gangster, with stooges, persecuting me, and hoaxing me, and otherwise taking riotous advantage of my strange relations with the law. I remember humming my panic away. I remember evolving even an explanation of the “Birdsley” telephone call… But if I could dismiss Trapp, as I had dismissed my convulsions on the lawn at Champion, I could do nothing with the anguish of knowing Lolita to be so tantalizingly, so miserably unattainable and beloved on the very even of a new era, when my alembics told me she should stop being a nymphet, stop torturing me. An additional, abominable, and perfectly gratuitous worry was lovingly prepared for me in Elphinstone. Lo had been dull and silent during the last laptwo hundred mountainous miles uncontaminated by smoke-gray sleuths or zigzagging zanies. She hardly glanced at the famous, oddly shaped, splendidly flushed rock which jutted above the mountains and had been the take-off for nirvana on the part of a temperamental show girl. The town was newly built, or rebuilt, on the flat floor of a seven-thousand-foot-high valley; it would...

Часть текста: of all my novels is to prove that the novel in general does not exist. The book I make is a subjective and specific affair. I have no purpose at all when composing my stuff except to compose it. I work hard, I work long, on a body of words until it grants me complete possession and pleasure. If the reader has to work in his turn-- so much the better. Art is difficult. Easy art is what you see at modern exhibitions of things and doodles. In your prefaces you constantly mock Freud, the Viennese witchdoctor. Why should I tolerate a perfect stranger at the bedside of my mind? I may have aired this before but I'd like to repeat that I detest not one but four doctors: Dr. Freud, Dr. Zhivago, Dr. Schweitzer, and Dr. Castro. Of course, the first takes the fig, as the fellows say in the dissecting-room. I've no intention to dream the drab middle-class dreams of an Austrian crank with a shabby umbrella. I also suggest that the Freudian faith leads to dangerous ethical consequences, such as when a filthy murderer with...
