Penguin Archive Revenge

90 Classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books have brought together a vibrant set of Vladimir Nabokov’s playful and exuberant tales. This collection features 13 stories that mix fantasy with sharp human observation, including a bashful dragon, a lost wood-sprite, the prophet Elijah and the Devil disguised as a middle-aged woman. The author himself also appears as a character recalling first love, and the narratives gleefully confound expectations. The edition, published as part of Penguin Publishing Group, spans about 160 pages in a paperback format and was released on 17/04/2025.

The tone is lively and imaginative, with moments of sly humor and disarming insight. Readers are invited to enter Nabokov’s world where the fantastical collides with everyday longing.
