No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer is quite as beguiling as that of Vladimir Nabokov's to Véra Slonim. She shared his delight at the enchantment of life's trifles and literature's treasures and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humor of any woman he had met. From their first encounter in 1923 Vladimir's letters to Véra chronicle a half-century-long love story one that is playful romantic and memorable. At the same time the letters reveal much about their author. We see the infectious fascination with which Vladimir observed everything-animals people speech landscapes and cityscapes-and glimpse his ceaseless work on his poems plays stories novels memoirs screenplays and translations. This delightful volume is enhanced by twenty-one photographs as well as facsimiles of the letters and the puzzles and drawings Vladimir often sent to Véra. With 8 pages of photographs and 47 illustrations in text
