✦ Synopsis

'The woods were gradually thinning. I was tormented by strange hallucinations.I gazed at the weird tree trunks, around some of which were coiled thick, flesh-coloured snakes; suddenly I thought I saw, between the trunks, as though through my fingers, the mirror of a half-open wardrobe...'These three stories of menace, magic and melancholy display Vladimir Nabokov's astonishing range and inventiveness. Whether describing an escape across a surreal tropical landscape, a fateful meeting or an unexpected -- and threatening -- return, each tale shows his dazzling sleight of hand, intellectual playfulness and fantastical imagination.This book includes Terra Incognita, Spring in Fialta and The Doorbell.
