The Gift (1938) is Vladimir Nabokov's last completed Russian novel and one of the most significant and multifaceted of the 20th century. Longer and more difficult to write than all his other Russian books, it draws on an unusually rich and varied collection of material, held in harmonious balance by a masterful composition. While The Gift focuses on several years in the life of the young émigré Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev—the formative years of his literary talent—its scope and time extend far beyond the 1920s Berlin in which its action unfolds. It offers the fullest and most comprehensive exposition of Nabokov's views on art and society, on the true and false in Russian culture and social thought, on the causes of Russia's decline, and on the best that remains unchanged.
