Mary (nabokov Collection 2)
About This Novel
"Remembering the past, fascinating love." The novel master Nabokov's first attempt to make his name famous. Wilderness, autumn sun, cold rain, white birches, winter snow... The first love of the past is intertwined with the scenery of the motherland, and the memory is awakened by a name. "Mary" is the first novel of Nabokov, a recognized master of novels in the 20th century. It has extraordinary significance to the author himself: "Because Russia is unusually far away, and because homesickness is always your obsessed companion in a person's life... I admit my strong emotional attachment to this debut novel, and I am not embarrassed by it at all." Ganin, a Russian officer in Berlin, learned from his neighbor In a photo, he accidentally discovered that the neighbor's waiting wife, Mary, turned out to be his first love in middle school; in the following days, Ganin kept reminiscing about the beautiful past with his lover, so he set the neighbor's alarm clock slow and went to pick up Mary on his behalf, hoping to rekindle the old relationship... The author uses extremely keen sensibility and delicate writing to show the nostalgia for his first love and his motherland to the extreme. Russia's vast fields, autumn sun, cold rain, white birches, and winter snow reflect the past in the bright maze of memory.
