Dear N-list,
I wonder if anyone has noticed that sometimes in Russian versions of
Nabokov's novels, the dedication "To Vera" is missing. I have a copy of
<italic>Vladimir Nabokov -- Romany</italic>, Moskva Hudozhestvennaia
Literatura, 1991, with an introduction written by A. Dolinin, containing
three novels, <italic>The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Pnin,
</italic>and<italic> Transparent Things</italic>, and as far as I know,
the novels are all dedicated to Vera.
Also, I have a copy of <italic>Pale Fire</italic>, from Ardis
publishers, translated by Vera Nabokov, but the dedication is missing as
well.
The dedication is a very important part of his novels. Why are they
missing?
