<P><B>Pulitzer Prize Biography/Autobiography 2000.</B></P><P>Hailed by critics as 'monumental' (<I>Boston Globe</I>) and 'utterly romantic' (<I>New York magazine</I>) Véra the story of Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov brings to shimmering life one of the greatest literary love stories of our time. Vladimir Nabokov author of <I>Lolita Pale Fire</I> and <I>Speak Memory</I> wrote his books first for himself and secondly for his wife.</P><P>Set in prewar Europe and postwar America and spanning much of the 20th century this telling of the Nabokov's 52-year marriage reads as vividly as a novel. Véra both beautiful and brilliant is its outsized heroine a woman who loves as deeply and intelligently as did the great romantic heroines of Austen and Tolstoy. Stacy Schiff's Véra is a triumph of the biographical form.</p><P>A Blackstone Audio production.</p>
