One of the great works of art of this century.\" -Mary McCarthy, New York Times bestselling author of The Group\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn ingeniously constructed parody of detective fiction and learned commentary, Pale Fire offers a cornucopia of deceptive pleasures, at the center of which is a 999-line poem written by the literary genius John Shade just before his death. Surrounding the poem is a foreword and commentary by the demented scholar Charles Kinbote, who interweaves adoring literary analysis with the fantastical tale of an assassin from the land of Zembla in pursuit of a deposed king. Brilliantly constructed and wildly inventive, Vladimir Nabokov's witty novel achieves that rarest of things in literature-perfect tragicomic balance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The BookSpot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67630624440456,"sku":"71058","price":990.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/5421\/0440\/files\/9780679723424.jpg?v=1791325146","url":"https:\/\/bookspotonline.com\/products\/pale-fire-71058","provider":"The BookSpot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
