Everyman's Library: Speak, Memory

A moving account of a loving, civilized family, of adolescent awakenings, flight from Bolshevik terror, education in England, and émigré life in Paris and Berlin, Nabokov's Speak, Memory vividly evokes a vanished past.

One of the finest autobiographies of our time, Speak, Memory was first published by Vladimir Nabokov in 1951 as Conclusive Evidence and then assiduously revised and republished in 1966.  This edition includes the previously unpublished "Chapter 16" (the most significant unpublished piece of writing by the master, released by the Nabokov estate) which provides an extraordinary insight into the work.
