Publication details: Editions Poetry London,1945,
Rare Book
Notable as the first of the author's works to appear under his own name in the UK - his earlier novels, 'Despair' and 'Camera Obscura' had appeared under the name Vladimir Nabokoff-Sirin; it was also the first of his novels to be written in English - the US edition was published in 1941. An excellent example of a fragile dustjacket.
1945, pp. 181, crown 8vo, original plum cloth, backstrip lettered in gilt, small spot to fore-edge and top edge (just encroaching onto page-border of prelims), dustjacket slightly browned to pale areas, a little chipped at extremities, very good
