Часть текста: 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 the journals, totally haphazard, scanty, and cruelly inaccurate in nomenclature, only maddened me when at last I ferreted them out. My father was the preeminent entomologist of his time, and very well off to boot, but the ordinary amateur, unable to dispatch his scouts throughout Russia, and denied the opportunity - or not knowing how - to gain access to specialized collections and libraries (and an accidental boon, the hasty inspection of collections at a lepidopterological society or in the cellar of...

Часть текста: have proved much harder than mapping the moon. The little maps that the Field Guide does supply for the fauna it covers seem seldom to err. I note that the range of the Twin-spot Fritillary and that of the Idas Blue are incorrectly marked, and I think Nogell's Hairstreak, which reaches Romania from the east, should have been included. Among minor shortcomings is the somewhat curt way in which British butterflies are treated (surely the Norfolk race of the Swallowtail, which is so different from the Swedish, should have received more attention). I would say that alder, rather than spruce, characterizes the habitat of Wolfens-berger's and Thor's Fritillaries. I regret that the dreadful nickname "Admiral" is used instead of the old "Admirable." The new vernacular names are well invented-- and, paradoxically, will be more attractive to the expert wishing to avoid taxonomic controversy when indicating a species than to the youngster who will lap up the Latin in a trice. The checklist of species would have been considerably more appealing if the names of authors had not been omitted (a deplorable practice of commercial origin which impairs a number of recent zoological and botanical manuals in America). The choice of important subspecies among the thousands described in the last hundred years is a somewhat subjective matter and cannot be discussed here. In deciding...

Часть текста: Owing to rains and floods, especially noticeable in Kansas, most of the drive from New York State to Colorado was entomologically uneventful. When reached at last, Telluride turned out to be a damp, unfrequented, but very spectacular cul-de-sac (which a prodigious rainbow straddied every evening) at the end of two converging roads, one from Placerville, the other from Dolores, both atrocious. There is one motel, the optimistic and excellent Valley View Court where my wife and I stayed, at 9,000 feet altitude, from the 3rd to the 29th of July, walking up daily to at least 12,000 feet along various more or less steep trails in search of sublivens. Once or twice Mr. Homer Reid of Telluride took us up in his jeep. Every morning the sky would be of an impeccable blue at 6 a. m. when I set out. The first innocent cloudlet would scud across at 7: 30 a. m. Bigger fellows with darker bellies would start tampering with the sun around 9 a. m., just as we emerged from the shadow of the cliffs and trees onto good hunting grounds. Everything would be cold and gloomy half an hour later. At around 10 a. m. there would come the daily electric storm, in several installments, accompanied by the most irritatingly close lightning I have ever encountered anywhere in the Rockies, not excepting...

Часть текста: энтомологам как автор почти двух десятков статей и заметок по систематике и фаунистике бабочек. Любое начало пригодно для настоящей заметки о Набокове, в жизни и искусстве которого эстетически чистая наука морфологического исследования насекомых срослась со стилистически ажурной прозой. В художественной и автобиографической прозе Набокова много энтомологических аллюзий, реминисценций и прямых описаний бабочек и их ловли. Отцу своего героя Федора Годунова-Чердынцева из романа «Дар», имеющего автобиографические черты, автор дал специальность энтомолога, и Константин Кириллович Годунов-Чердынцев выписан в освещении родственной любви, уважения и восхищения. Проза Набокова полна бабочек. Со страстью коллекционера можно собирать не самих бабочек, но их упоминания в набоковской прозе — этим даже занимались, и вполне успешно. Мелкие твари живут на набоковских страницах, если не в прямом описании, то в уподоблении людей этим созданиям. Гумберт Гумберт уподобляет себя пауку, следящему за мухой, — кто же тогда Набоков, написавший исповедь светлокожего вдовца? Набоков, конечно, энтомолог, натуралист, описывающий жизнь еще неведомых науке форм. Герои романа «Пнин», глядя на изящных бабочек, жалеют, что рядом с ними нет Набокова. «Десятка два маленьких бабочек, все одного вида, сидели на мокром песке, подняв и сложив крылья, бледные с испода, с темными точками и крошечными, с оранжевой каемкой, павлиньими лунками по кромке заднего крыла; одна из скинутых Пниным галош спугнула несколько из них и, обнаружив небесную голубизну лицевой поверхности крыльев, они запорхали вокруг,...

Часть текста: и сверхъестественное — чудо мышц и чудо мысли — оба необъяснимы, как и все пути Господни. Чарльз Кинбот. Бледный огонь (159, примеч. к строке 230) На самом деле, чем значительнее познания, тем сильнее ощущение тайны. Владимир Набоков [285] Джон Шейд занят исследованием областей потустороннего; Кинбот подробно описывает географию земблянского полуострова и рисует для Шейдов детальный план дворца в Онхаве. Набоков прибегает к географической метафоре для описания творческого процесса. В «Память, говори» он рассуждает о действия[х] творческого разума, от прокладки курса через опасные моря до писания тех невероятно сложных романов, где автор в состоянии ясного безумия ставит себе единственные в своем роде правила и преграды, которые он соблюдает и одолевает с пылом божества, строящего полный жизни мир из самых невероятных материалов — из скал, из листов копировальной бумаги, из незрячего трепета (568). Рассказ Кинбота о своем бегстве из Зембли — это реализация метафоры Набокова: он преодолевает невероятные преграды, однако его «ясное безумие» имеет буквальный смысл, тогда как набоковское — метафорический. «Незрячий трепет» Кинбота почти во всем отличается от набоковского, однако скалы, символизирующие природный мир, существуют независимо от обоих — это сырой материал, общий для обоих «безумцев». Путешественники и натуралисты «Бледный огонь»...

Часть текста: during the 1940s, when he worked for Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology and made important discoveries about the American genera known as Blues. Butterfly-linked images and ideas pervade some of his fiction, and butterfly-collecting expeditions took up much of his free time. Nabokov biographer Boyd and butterfly expert Pyle team up to offer a gigantic compendium of butterfly-relevant Nabokoviana. Reprinted here are draft reminiscences later revised for the autobiography Speak, Memory; the 1920 technical paper "A Few Notes on Crimean Lepidoptera"; selected parts of the later scientific and technical work; numerous poems with butterfly-related lines, some in English, some translated from Russian; Nabokov's last short story, "The Admirable Anglewing"; excerpts from letters and interviews; notes for the New Yorker ("Incidentally, pinching the thorax is a much simpler way of dispatching a butterfly") and segments of Nabokov's lecture notes; and lepidopteran passages from the novels and stories. Among the previously unpublished works, one standout is the 36-page essay (originally in Russian) that Nabokov meant to use as the afterword to The Gift. Also present are the surviving fragments of Nabokov's never-completed descriptive catalogue, Butterflies of Europe. Boyd and Pyle contribute separate, informative and sometimes parallel introductions. Not even a Nabokov-obsessed taxonomist would want to read this...

Часть текста: on butterflies. He not only collected them obsessively but invented techniques to make their classification more precise. This volume brings together technical papers and butterfly-themed passages from his work. The closest comparable case of a major author having world eminence in another expertise would be A. E. Housman, who emended corrupt classical texts with the same analytical exquisiteness that Nabokov used to revise the classification of butterflies, according to the details of their dissected genitals. Classical philology is hardly a more popular or accessible pursuit than lepidoptery, but the volume (edited by Christopher Ricks), which includes passages from Housman's technical writings as well as the poems, is an outstanding success. The advantages of that book over this one were that it was wieldy, that it never left the domain of culture and that it showed a side of the writer absent from his verse. The slyly fatalistic persona of the poet made a fascinating contrast with the professor of Latin, who was a doughty if not brutal scrapper, and never split a hair in argument if there was a chance of splitting the person to whom it was attached. When Nabokov wrote in 1947 that his scientific papers 'have no interest whatever for the layman', he was expressing pride as much as melancholy. Any reader would enjoy the passage reprinted here from his novel, The Gift, about the living arrangements of those large blues which have 'concluded a barbaric pact' with ants: 'I saw how an ant, greedily tickling a hind segment of that caterpillar's sluglike little body, forced it to excrete a drop of ...
