This course explores Vladimir Nabokov’s literary output, criticism, and film adaptations of his novels. To understand Nabokov's aesthetics and situate him in the context of world literature, students will investigate the author's approach to several themes, such as reality, the construction of the author within the text, literary translation, emigration, and transformation. Students will also situate Nabokov among his émigré contemporaries, focusing on digitized resources from the author's Berlin and American periods. The course is taught in English.
