Vladimir Nabokov

Meridian

Available for over a year

A celebration of the world-class Russian-American writer. After his family lost everything in the Russian revolution, Nabokov was later banned by the Soviets and threatened by the Nazis before he moved to America and wrote the 1953 novel Lolita that changed his life forever. But he's also remembered in Russia as one of their own.
