"Nabokov's Butterflies" presents the great writer's lifelong love of literature and butterflies through a rich array of extraact from novels, stories, poems, autobiographical pieces, extracts, letters and diaries - many of which have never been translated into English before - alongside a wealth of beautiful drawings by Nabokov, and both fanciful and scientific photographs of him in the field. The book includes, for the first time, Nabokov's most exciting blend of literature and lepidoptera, his 40-page afterword to The Gift.
