Vladimir Nabokov--the migr author of Lolita; Pale Fire; and Speak  Memory--wrote his books first for himself  second for his wife  Vra  and third for no one at all.  \"Without my wife \" he once noted  \"I wouldnt have written a single novel.\" Set in prewar Europe and postwar America  spanning much of the century  the story of the Nabokovs fifty-two-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. Vra  both beautiful and brilliant  is its outsized heroine--a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy. Stacy Schiffs Vra is a triumph of the biographical form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45279731023925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679447903","price":46.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679447900.jpg?v=1780607997","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/vera-mrs-vladimir-nabokov-9780679447900","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
