Pnin, Hardback Book

Pnin Hardback

Part of the Everyman's Library CLASSICS series

Hardback

Less than 10 available - usually despatched within 24 hours

Description

Initially an almost grotesquely comic figure, Pnin gradually grows in stature by contrast with those who laugh at him.

Whether taking the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he has not mastered or throwing a faculty party during which he learns he is losing his job, the gently preposterous hero of this enchanting novel evokes the reader's deepest protective instinct.

Serialized in The New Yorker and published in book form in 1957, PNIN brought Nabokov both his first National Book Award nomination and hitherto unprecedented popularity.
