About This Novel
"Glory" is a Russian novel written by Vladimir Nabokov, a recognized master of novels in the twentieth century. Later, he and his son Dmitry Nabokov jointly translated the book into English and published it in 1971. This is a beautiful book about growing up, a rare youthful "age of innocence" written by Nabokov. The protagonist Martin began his life of exile with his mother due to the Russian Revolution, and traveled to Greece, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Germany and the south of France; he completed his self-growth along with the lingering love, and gradually walked out of the hesitation between courage and cowardice; he transformed from a dreamer and a daydreamer into an actioner and a realistic adventurer, heeding the call from the distant deep memory, obeying the guidance of inner impulse and romantic passion, crossing the border regardless of all, and finally gaining glory through practicing courage. This version was translated from Russian by the famous translator Shi Guoxiong, which retains the charm and beauty of the original text to the greatest extent.
