Vladimir Nabokov—the émigré author of \u003ci\u003eLolita; Pale Fire;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSpeak, Memory\u003c\/i\u003e—wrote his books first for himself, second for his wife, Véra, and third for no one at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Without my wife,” he once noted, “I wouldn’t 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. Véra, 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 Schiff's \u003ci\u003eVéra\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumph of the biographical form.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47012419731696,"sku":"9780375755347","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780375755347_p0.jpg?v=1763692354","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780375755347","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
