註釋

"Here, for the first time, the stories of one of the century's greatest prose stylists collected in one elegant volume. These 65 stories (drawn from Nabokov's four earlier collections and including 13 stories never before published in book form) display the full range of his gifts: the dazzling sleights of hand, fanciful fairy tales, inventive puzzles, enchanting vignettes, and haunting, melancholic stories full of disturbing ambiguities. Written from the early 1920s - the years of his exile from Russia - to the mid-1950s, when he abandoned the story form and turned to his English-language masterpieces Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, these stories will remind us anew that we are in the company of a great original, a literary master. Edited by his son and translator, Dmitri Nabokov, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov is a literary event and a celebration of his art."--Page before half-title.
