About This Item
New York: McGraw-Hill International, Inc, 1970. First edition in English of Nabokov's debut novel. Octavo, original black cloth, mustard yellow endpapers. Fine in a fine dust jacket. A very bright example. Nabokov's debut novel, Mary, recounts the tale of Lev Glebovich Ganin, a Russian emigre and former White Guard Officer displaced by the Russian Revolution. Now living in a boarding house in Berlin, Ganin soon learns that his long-lost first love, Mary, is now the wife of one of his most unappealing neighbors and contrives a plot to reunite with her.
