Letters to Vera

This is not just an "anthology" comprising letters from a husband to his wife, but rather the story of departure and what went with the wind for the author Nabokov (author of the novel Lolita). This book is an odyssey that flows through letters whose envelopes were publicly opened and revealed to everyone, near and far. It is a journey of a lifetime, through papers that Nabokov would never have imagined his son would publish the secrets of his life one day. The book contains 287 letters, written from 1923 to 1976, recounting the exquisite art he left behind, and intricate relationships. It is a biography written from heart to heart, and remained in safe keeping, untouched by hands and unseen by eyes.
