Furthermore this book investigates to which extent the Augustinian art of memory influenced Nabokov's fictive autobiographies. By selecting a sample comprising Mary (Mashen'ka), The Gift (Dar), Lolita, and Ada, the continuous importance of the Augustinian paradigm throughout Nabokov's multilingual career is demonstrated.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
