No marriage of a major twentieth-century writer lasted longer than Vladimir Nabokov's. Véra Slonim shared his delight at the enchantment of life's trifles and literature's treasures, and he rated her as having the best and quickest sense of humour of any woman he had met. From their meeting in 1921, Vladimir's letters to his beloved Véra form a narrative arc that tells a forty-six year-long love story, and they are memorable in their entirety. Almost always playful, romantic, and pithy, the letters tell us much about the man and the writer; we see that Vladimir observed everything, from animals, faces, speech, and landscapes with genuine fascination.

纳博科夫这个毒舌写起情书来竟然齁得要死!“天堂应该挺无聊的,到处是天使翅膀抖落的绒毛,所以禁止吸烟;不过有时,天使们偷偷抽烟,把烟藏在袖子里。天使长巡视的时候,它们就悄悄把烟头弹掉,这就是你看到的流星啦。”真是可爱。
