| Description: | Select Guide Rating Includes sixty-five stories of magic and melancholy that display a range of inventiveness, with fairy tales, intellectual games and glimpses into lives of ambiguity and loss. A man at his desk is interrupted by the appearance of a woodland elf in his room; the piano maestro Bachmann ends his career; a barber shaves the face of a man who once tortured him; a shy dreamer makes a deal with the Devil. In these sixty-five stories of magic and melancholy, Nabokov displays an astonishing range of inventiveness, with dazzling sleight of hand, fantastical fairy tales, intellectual games and enchanting glimpses into lives of ambiguity and loss. |
