Book summaryNabokov's first novel (1925) is a comic fantasy about a Russian émigré army officer who is living in a seedy Berlin boarding house. Nostalgically, he remembers his first, idyllic love affair with the lovely Mary ("Mashenka"). Inevitably, he contrasts his old life before the Revolution with his present one, which includes the unpleasant man in the room next door--who turns out to be Mary's husband. |
