Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo. New translations from the Russian by Dmitri Nabokov. Quarter red cloth, black paper boards. xiv,782 pp. [16] pp. colour plates. B&W illustrations in text throughout. Fine in fine dust jacket. Literature and lepidoptera dance an elaborate pas-de-deux through seventy years of Vladimir Nabokov's life, from his boyhood in Russia to his life as an emigre in the Crimea, France, Berlin, the United States, and finally in Switzerland. An American literary giant, Nabokov also produced first-rate work as a scientist, and in his fiction and elsewhere eloquently advocated attention to the details of the natural world and promoted the life of discovery. Nabokov's Butterflies presents Nabokov's twin passions through an astonishly rich array of novel selections, stories, poems, screenplay, autobiography, criticism, lectures, articles, reviews, interviews, letters, and notes, plus a wealth of beautiful and fanciful drawings by Nabokov and photographs of him in the field.
