NABOKOV, Vladimir. Speak, Memory: An Autobiography Revisited. London, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 1967.
Revised edition. 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, marriage, and his passions for butterflies. Written in Nabokov's characteristically beautiful prose, this book is also a tender recollection of lost childhood and youth in pre-Revolutionary Russia.
316 pp, b/w photos. Very good in dust-jacket (slightly chipped at spine ends)
