Prozirnost stvari

Prozirnost stvari

Vladimir Nabokov

Behind the ironic-humorous style with which he portrays Hugh Person, the hero of the novel, Nabokov weaves a serious human drama.

As in a creepy and absurd fairy tale, the main character of this work, Hugh Person, will be led by fate three times to a Swiss mountain resort, where some of the turning points in his life will take place. The last, fourth journey of the now nervously distracted hero - the pilgrimage that begins this book - is actually a retrospective of small victories and big defeats, intriguing and scandalous relationships, social frictions and all those dark enough details that make up life and which can easily, many years later, rise before our eyes.
