Behind the criminal plot with a love triangle lies the masterfully revealed confrontation of two polar lifestyles: a stencil, soulless, brought to automatism, and natural, full -blooded, creative. In the conditional world, advertisements and fashion magazines are embedded as if the very consciousness and nature of the young “lady”, the main character of the book, and vice versa, unexpected poetry are filled with the life and projects of her husband, the rich in the King of the King in that complex game that leads. With the reader of Nabokov. This edition is supplemented by an episode from an expanded English version of the novel, first translated into Russian
