Paperback. Nabokov's biography of this other Russian literary giant, now part of this new Penguin Modern Classics seriesNikolai Gogol was one of the great geniuses of nineteenth century Russian literature, with a command of the irrational unmatched by any writer before or since. His strange tales, though often read as forceful demands for social change, were displays of the fantasies of the human spirit. In this ideal marriage of subject and critic, Nabokov analyses his endlessly inventive compatriot, focusing on the masterpieces Dead Souls, The Overcoat and The Government Inspector.Misunderstood by his contemporaries, mishandled by theatre directors and ending his life mistreated by doctors - with medicinal leeches hanging from his exceptional nose - it took Nabokov to give Gogol, 'the oddest Russian in Russia', the critical biography he and his singular, brilliant work deserve. Nikolai Gogol was one of the great geniuses of nineteenth century Russian literature, with a command of the irrational unmatched by any writer before or since. His strange tales, though often read as forceful demands for social change, were displays of the fantasies of the human spirit. This book tells his story.

Idioma/Language: Español. «El ingenio, la ironía y la perspicacia de Nabokov convierten este texto en un des? le de satisfacciones para personas inteligentes» (José María Guelbenzu, El País). Un genio ruso del siglo XX escribe sobre un genio ruso del siglo XIX. Nabokov aborda la figura y la obra de Gógol con perspicacia y erudición. Perfila su vida, lo sitúa en el contexto de la literatura rusa y, al abordar su producción literaria, se centra sobre todo en sus tres obras maestras: El inspector , Almas muertas y El abrigo . Su conclusión es que la superlativa literatura de Gógol se sustenta no tanto en los argumentos de sus libros como en el manejo del lenguaje y la forma. Nabokov hace una lectura iluminadora de quien para él es «el más extraño poeta en prosa que jamás produjo Rusia». Y a través del análisis de los textos de su compatriota, reflexiona sobre unos planteamientos estéticos y un modo de entender la literatura que son los que él reivindica y utiliza en su propia narrativa. El Nabokov ensayista complementa y enriquece al Nabokov novelista. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
