About This Item
New York: Capricorn Books, 1970. New book. Paperback
378 pp.
Lifetime edition. Third impression.
Translated from Russian by Michael Scammell with the collaboration of the author.
The Gift is the last of the novels Nabokov wrote in his native Russian and the crowning achievement of that period in his literary career. It is also his ode to Russian literature, evoking the works of Pushkin, Gogol, and others in the course of its narrative: the story of Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, an impoverished émigré poet living in Berlin, who dreams of the book he will someday write a book very much like The Gift itself.
