From one of the 20th century's great writers comes one of the finest autobiographies of our time. Vladimir Nabokov's Speak, Memory, first published in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised in 1966, is an elegant and rich evocation of Nabokov's life and times. A moving account of a loving, civilized family, of adolescent awakenings, flight from Bolshevik terror, education in England, and emigre life in Paris and Berlin, Speak, Memory is Nabokov at his incomparable best.
