No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer is quite as beguiling as that of Vladimir Nabokov’s to Vera Slonim. She shared his delight at the enchantment of life’s trifles and literature’s treasures, and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humor of any woman he had met. From their first encounter in 1923, Vladimir’s letters to Vera chronicle a half-century-long love story, one that is playful, romantic, and memorable. At the same time, the letters reveal much about their author. We see the infectious fascination with which Vladimir observed everything — animals, people, speech, landscapes and cityscapes — and glimpse his ceaseless work on his poems, plays, stories, novels, memoirs, screenplays, and translations. This delightful volume is enhanced by twenty-one photographs, as well as facsimiles of the letters and the puzzles and drawings Vladimir often sent to Vera подробнее

Vintage books Letters to Milena Кафка Франц

Franz Kafka's letters to his one-time muse, Milena Jesenska - an intimate window into the desires and hopes of the twentieth-century's most prophetic and important writer • Kafka first made the acquaintance of Milena Jesenska in 1920 when she was translating his early short prose into Czech, and their relationship quickly developed into a deep attachment. Such was his feeling for her that Kafka showed her his diaries and, in doing so, laid bare his heart and his conscience. While at times Milena's 'genius for living' gave Kafka new life, it ultimately exhausted him, and their relationship was to last little over two years. In 1924 Kafka died in a sanatorium near Vienna, and Milena died in 1944 at the hands of the Nazis, leaving these letters as a moving record of their relationship

Heart-to-heart letters: to MrRight from CCCP

Эти письма были написаны двадцать лет назад простой советской девушкой, юность которой пришлась на перестройку. Она писала их своему другу из Канады, который сохранил все ее послания. Их встреча была случайной и мимолетной, но романтическая переписка длилась целую вечность. Она рассказывала ему о себе, о стране, о друзьях, о курьезах из детства, из жизни, словно старалась удержать в памяти тот мир, которого уже не будет. В этих живых, искренних посланиях, полных смеха и печали, читается боль утраты веры, сломанной эпохой гласности, и потерянность перед миром, привычные очертания которого распадались на ее глазах. В них словно снят точный слепок с души типичного «хомо советикуса» – уходящей в небытие натуры, – вопросы, мучившие ее, задавали себе в те годы многие – где искать опору духу, мятущемуся в тоске по искаженной реальности времени
