Synopsis "Cuentos completos (in Spanish)"

Un hombre que está escribiendo en su despacho es interrumpido por un duende del bosque, un concertista de piano se dispone a poner fin a su carrera, un barbero afeita al hombre que lo torturó, un soñador tímido hace un pacto con el Diablo... Los sesenta y ocho relatos de Vladimir Nabokov que se incluyen en esta edición definitiva de su obra cuentística, preparada por su hijo Dmitri, permiten disfrutar de su inconmensurable virtuosismo literario: de sus piruetas temáticas y formales, de sus inquietantes ambigüedades, de su elegante manejo del idioma, de la presencia de los temas –como el del doble– que lo fascinaban y de los muchos lugares que dejaron huella en él: la Rusia de su infancia, la Inglaterra de sus años de estudiante, la Alemania y la Francia del exilio y después esos Estados Unidos que siempre observó con sagaz y nada complaciente mirada de europeo. La incorporación de este libro al catálogo de Anagrama permite añadir una pieza más al puzle de la rica producción literaria de Nabokov, del que hemos publicado el grueso de su obra novelística. Y, como en las novelas, en estos cuentos brilla la inagotable inventiva de uno de los escritores auténticamente imprescindibles del siglo XX.

Vladimir Nabokov was born in Saint Petersburg into an aristocratic family in 1899, but his family background first, and later his personal interests, took him to Germany, England, France, and the United States, where he began a brilliant career as a poet, novelist, critic, and translator, while teaching Literature at several prestigious universities. His novels Mary (1926), King, Queen, Knave (1928), The Defense (1930), Glory (1932), Laughter in the Dark (1933), Despair and The Gift (both from 1934), Invitation to a Beheading (1938), The Eye (1937), The Enchanter (1939), The Real Life of Sebastian Knight (1941) and Ultima Thule (1942) preceded the monumental success of Lolita (1955) which allowed him to leave teaching and fully dedicate himself to his writing vocation. Later came Pnin (1957), Pale Fire (1962), Ada or Ardor (1969), Transparent Things (1972), Look at the Harlequins! (1974). Among his non-fiction works, his autobiography Speak, Memory (1951) and literary essays such as Nikolai Gogol (1944) or his courses on European literature, on Don Quixote or on Russian literature stand out. In 1961, he moved to Switzerland, where he died in 1977. In 2009, his son Dmitri agreed to the publication of his unfinished novel, The Original of Laura.
