This work constitutes the 'first little throb' of a fascination with tormented compulsion that Nabokov developed further in \u003cem\u003eLolita\u003c\/em\u003e. Paris, 1939. Vladimir Nabokov's imagination is titillated by a newspaper report of an ape coached by scientists into drawing the first ever picture by a captive animal: he draws the bars of his cage. In the ensuing months, Nabokov translates the notion into a study of the terrible cage that madness can be, and then tries to view it through the eyes of a madman. The result is \u003cem\u003eThe Enchanter\u003c\/em\u003e. Nabokov himself mislaid the manuscript for this novel, with it only being found 10 years after his death by his son, Dmitri Nabokov. No Nabokov collection would be complete without the addition of this novel. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Everlasting Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43251564216475,"sku":"1013","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0027\/6483\/2826\/products\/P1150051.jpg?v=1677076989"},{"product_id":"the-view-from-mount-dog-by-james-hamilton-paterson","title":"The View From Mount Dog by James Hamilton-Paterson","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished by Macmillan, London; 1986. 8vo. 202pp. First edition, first impression.
