Vladimir Nabokov

1899-04-10 — 1977-07-02 · São Petersburgo

Vladimir Nabokov was a prominent Russian-American novelist, short-story writer, translator, and literary critic. Born in St. Petersburg to an aristocratic family, he became known for his intricate literary style, wordplay, and complex themes such as memory, identity, and obsession. His most famous work, 'Lolita,' generated both controversy and acclaim. Following the Russian Revolution, Nabokov emigrated with his family, living in Europe before settling in the United States. He taught literature at American universities and wrote in both Russian and English, demonstrating an exceptional command of both languages. His writing is characterized by lyrical prose, subtle humor, and a deep appreciation for beauty and art.
