Description
This early, previously unpublished novella by Vladimir Nabokov offers a dark and unsettling exploration of obsession. It tells the story of a middle-aged man who marries a woman solely to gain access to her young daughter, driven by a disturbing fixation. Nabokov masterfully crafts a narrative that delves into the psychological depths of desire and the corrupting nature of forbidden impulses, serving as a stark precursor to his most famous work.
