Speak, Memory (Hardcover, Reissue)

Sheer brilliance from beginning to end. This memoir of childhood and youth glitters with the author's inimitable style and, like all his work, dances along the dividing line between outer reality and the writer's imagination. (Kirkus UK)

An autobiographical volume which recounts the story of Nabokov's first forty years up to his departure from Europe for America at the outset of World War Two. It tells of his emergence as a writer, his early loves and his marriage, and his passions for butterflies and his lost homeland. Written in this writer's characteristically brilliant, mordant style, this book is also a tender record of lost childhood and youth in pre-Revolutionary Russia.
