In “Lectures on Foreign Literature,” first published in 1980, the greatest Russian-American writer of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokov, appeared before his fans, who knew him mainly as a virtuoso artist of words, in other, sometimes unexpected forms: a thoughtful reader, an insightful, meticulous and at the same time very biased researcher, temperamental and demanding teacher. The book is based on the lecture course “Masters of European Prose,” prepared for students at Cornell University, where the writer taught in the 1940s and 1950s. In the pages of this volume, Nabokov the lecturer gives his audience an excellent lesson in "close reading" in the works of Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Gustave Flaubert, Robert Louis Stevenson, Franz Kafka, Marcel Proust and James Joyce.
The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.
