Book
Speak, Memory
by Vladimir Nabokov
From one of the 20th century's great writers comes one of the finest autobiographies of our time. ā¢ "Scintillating ā¦ One finds here amazing glimpses into the life of a world that has vanished forever." āThe New York Times Speak, Memory was first published by Vladimir Nabokov in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised and republished in 1966. Nabokov's memoir is a moving account of a loving, civilized family, of adolescent awakenings, flight from Bolshevik terror, education in England, and Ć©migrĆ© life in Paris and Berlin. The Nabokovs were eccentric, liberal aristocrats, who lived a life immersed in politics and literature on splendid country estates until their world was swept away by the Russian revolution when the author was eighteen years old. Speak, Memory vividly evokes a vanished past in the inimitable prose of Nabokov at his best.
