Pale Fire (1962) is Vladimir Nabokov's most unusual work, consisting of an epigraph, a 999-line poem of the same name, a preface, an extensive commentary, and an index. The circumstances of John Shade's composition of this brilliant poem in the final weeks of his life are refracted through the fantastical prism of a commentary composed by Charles Kinbote, an enigmatic and lonely admirer of the American poet, who imbues the world of Pale Fire with his own creative experiences, memories, and fears.

This edition features the novel translated by Véra Nabokova.
