The Khazar king wanted to convert to a religion and choose one of the three religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Representatives of the three major religions in Constantinople gathered in the Khazar capital and held a "Khazar Great Debate". Each of the three religions had their own opinions on the outcome. The history written by the Khazars themselves has been lost to obscurity, and the results of this great debate can only be supported by the documents of these three religions. However, the results recorded by the three religions are contradictory, and they all believe that their side has won. So at the end of the seventeenth century, that is, hundreds of years later, a Khazar dictionary came out, including records of debates by the three major religions. The book was divided into three parts, namely the Red Book, the Green Book, and the Yellow Book, which recorded the respective opinions of the three religions. The authors of the Red, Green, and Yellow books in the seventeenth century were connected through dream-catching, and gradually pieced together the situation and history of the Khazar religion, and they had the conditions to get close to Adam. But they died when they met. There are also three demons who exist as destroyers who want to prevent humans from gaining knowledge about Adam. This was less of a danger at the end of the seventeenth century, because Adan Ruani was in a weaker period of his divinity. By 1982, it was the peak of Adam's divinity. At this time, the three scholars who were reincarnated from the three seventeenth-century dictionary authors began to gather the knowledge of this mysterious doctrine, and it was possible to obtain this knowledge again. The "Holy Family" composed of three devils who were afraid of human beings approaching Adam killed two scholars and put the other in jail. This knowledge once again became fragments. These fragments were compiled into the second edition, which is the "Khazar Dictionary" in the hands of readers today.

"The Complete Collection of Nabokov's Short Stories" is the first complete collection of the literary master Nabokov's short stories in the country. 68 Short stories in different styles, edited by Nabokov's son Dmitry in chronological order. The man at the desk at night is disturbed by an uninvited guest, who turns out to be a wood elf from his hometown; the long-lost son reunites with his mother, but appears at an extremely embarrassing moment; the exiled barber named "Razor" shaves the man who once persecuted him; the groom has to report the bride's death to his father-in-law after the honeymoon; A shy dreamer makes a soul-deal with the devil... In these dark and magical stories, Nabokov perfectly demonstrates dazzling novel techniques, wild imagination and intellectual games, and fascinating insights into the unavoidable ambiguity and loss in life. They are called "the miracle of English literature".

"The Sign of the Bastard" is the first English novel Nabokov wrote after moving to the United States. It was once widely studied by critics as a political novel. The background of the novel is an autocratic country. The leader Bartuk and the protagonist Kruger were middle school classmates. In order to force the internationally renowned philosopher Kruger to endorse his party's Ecclesianism, Bartuk kidnapped Kruger's son David. However, when Kruger compromised and the child was returned, people discovered that the child was with another child. A child with the same surname was mistaken, and the real David was tortured and killed in a juvenile detention center. Kruger then went crazy and attacked Bartuk. When he was about to be shot - Nabokov created the image of a novelist, and Kruger's story is only the work of the novelist. Kruger was spared a tragic fate, and the novel ended abruptly.

"Cheer up!" She shouted, "Look at those clowns!" "What clowns? Where are they?" "Oh, they are everywhere. All around you. Plants and trees are clowns, words are clowns. Scenes and numbers are clowns. Put two things together, one joke, one image, and you have a three-part clown. Come on! Play! Fictional world! Fictional reality!" I really did. Oh my gosh, I really did. To commemorate those first daydreams, I invented this great-aunt, and now she is walking tremblingly along the marble steps of the front porch of memory, sideways, sideways, poor lame lady, touching the edge of each step with the rubber tip of her black cane.

One of the strangest of all Nabokov's novels. The novel consists of a preface, a four-chapter poem, commentary and index. Just looking at the four-section structure with commentary as the main body cannot help but make people suspicious. It is said that Nabokov was inspired by the process of translating Pushkin's "Eugene Onegin". The number of pages in the notes exceeds the translation by ten times. As an avant-garde exploratory writer, Nabokov was always looking for original novel forms. This intertextual structure with commentary as the main body reflects Nabokov's point of view: "Human life is nothing more than a series of notes added to an obscure and unfinished masterpiece."

The plot of the novel is not fundamentally unfamiliar; in fact, I suspect that two respectable writers, Balzac and Dreiser, would accuse me of gross imitation, but, I swear, I had not read their absurd works at the time, and even now have no idea what they said in Under the Cypresses. After all, Charlotte Humbert's husband wasn't that innocent either. The question of the title of the book. The three face cards were all heart cards, so I kept them and discarded a small pair. The two new cards I was dealt might prove that the gamble was right, because I always have an ivory thumb in this game of gambling. Evenly matched, very lucky, and inextricably squeezed out a slight advantage through the sting of smoke. I can only hope that my good old poker partners, who all have a full house and a straight, think I'm trying to scare off my opponents with big bets.

A collection of systematically related personal memories spanning thirty-seven years (from August 1903 to May 1940), it is one of Nabokov's most important and famous works. It uses the precise language of a lepidopterist to observe the wonderful patterns on butterfly wings through a high-power magnifying glass and describe them, giving readers an extraordinary reading experience. Memory and review of the past often dominate Nabokov's novels, so this autobiography is an excellent code for interpreting his novels, because memory itself is a hidden bridge between fantasy and reality.

Nabokov's most autobiographical and witty classic. Originally serialized in four chapters intermittently in The New Yorker magazine from 1953 to 1957, it was Nabokov's first novel to attract widespread attention and popularity among American readers. Describes the life of an exiled old Russian professor teaching in an American university. Nabokov cleverly blended Russian culture and modern American civilization, and humorously and intelligently portrayed a distressed man who had lost his homeland, severed ties with his motherland's culture, and lost his love.

This book is Nabokov's fourth novel, telling the life of spy Smurov. Only at the end does the reader realize that the narrator of the book is Smurov himself. Due to his special identity, he only sees himself and observes others through the eyes of others, and protects his identity from being discovered. He finally committed suicide because he couldn't bear the humiliation of others, but was even more humiliated after his death. "The Eye" focuses on the nature of personal identity, arguing that an individual with a strong sense of self can only be defined by his understanding of what those around him say about him.

Fragments echo throughout the book, exploring time, love, death, art and other eternal themes in a gorgeous and simple way.

This book is one of Nabokov's lesser-known biographies. The author takes readers into Gogol's youth, looks through his early works, and provides detailed reviews of his collection of The Imperial Envoy and the first volume of Dead Souls. He also briefly reviews Gogol's most famous short story, "The Overcoat." In the book, Nabokov explores Gogol's unique writing style, using multiple fragments of his own translation to prove Gogol's impeccable prose. He emphasized not the plots of Gogol's works but their style, and successfully showed another side of Gogol, who was known for his satire.

This book is Nabokov's third novel. It tells the story of a chess genius who gradually became insane due to his long-term addiction to the game. The protagonist Luzhin was an unattractive, withdrawn and melancholic child when he was a child. He was like a mystery to his parents and the object of ridicule by his classmates. Real life always made him anxious, so he used chess as a refuge from real life. It turned out that he was a chess genius and became a chess master. However, he also paid a price for this: the game of chess gradually replaced his real life.

Finally, Ganin boarded another train and left Berlin to start a new life in France.

"Invitation to the Beheading" is a masterpiece of dystopian novels by the outstanding American novelist Nabokov. It shows the bizarre illusion of the irrational world and satirizes the Kafkaesque black comedy tragedy of totalitarian rule. It is a novel worth reading by everyone.

"Laughter in the Dark" was written in Berlin in 1932 under the title "Camera Obscura". It was published in Paris and Berlin. It was translated into English by Way Loy in 1936 and published in London under its original name. In 1938, it was significantly revised and re-translated by Nabokov himself and published in New York under the name "Laughter in the Dark". The novel imitates the kind of cheap love triangle stories popular in movies in the 1920s and 1930s. It uses the movie as its title at the beginning to introduce the relationship between the main characters. The actor Obinus wants to use the new technique of animation to "animate" the paintings of ancient masters, and proposes to cooperate with the caricature painter Rex. Obinas fell in love with the theater usher Margot at first sight. Margot, who was "obsessed with watching movies," dreamed of becoming a movie star. When she was convinced that he belonged to a class that could "provide the conditions for her to be on stage and screen," she decided to associate with him. The banquet hosted by Obinas to entertain the stars creates an opportunity for Margot to reunite with her former lover Rex, thus forming a triangle relationship until the novel ends in tragedy.

Nabokov began writing "Despair" in Russian in Berlin in 1932, and serialized it in a Russian exile publication in Paris, France two years later; at the end of 1936, Nabokov rewrote the novel in English, making it his first English novel created for "artistic purposes." In this novel, Nabokov conducted a fruitful exploration of the psychological operating mechanism of mass society. In Nabokov's view, the crazy pursuit of identity is the source of despair for unique individuals in mass society.

This book contains a total of thirteen short stories and short stories by Akutagawa. "Rashomon" uses a weather-proof layout to push people to the limit of life and death choices, thus showing the inescapability of "evil" and conveying for the first time the author's understanding of people, his helplessness and despair. There is a mountain of books and a sea of ​​barnyards, and a garden of literature and history. I sink and play in it, and the hook is not hidden, and it is written in a day. It comes naturally at random, randomly, vertically and horizontally, and cannot be suppressed. From the high-ranking officials in the temple to the ordinary people in the city, from the depths of Zichen to the fate of the rivers and lakes, everything he writes about comes immediately and leaps onto the page. Akutagawa is sensitive by nature. Generally speaking, he does not focus on description but focuses on exploration. He pays little attention to narration and focuses on enlightenment. He is less light and unrestrained and more depressed and desolate. This is easily evident from his works.
