Risa en la oscuridad

by Vladimir Nabokov

Overview

Albinus, un respetable critico de arte, se enamora de la joven Margot. Pero aparece una tercera persona: Axel Rex, un joven y cinico artista. Y cuando Albinus tiene un accidente, queda ciego y se retira a una casa aislada con Margot, alli se instala tambien Axel, que hace el amor con ella y se pasea retadoramente desnudo ante Albinus. Un triangulo amoroso en el que se entremezclan la pasion y la degradacion. / Albinus, a respectable, middle-aged man and aspiring filmmaker, abandons his wife for a lover half his age: Margot, who wants to become a movie star herself. When Albinus introduces her to Rex, an American movie producer, disaster ensues. What emerges is an elegantly sardonic and irresistibly ironic novel of desire, deceit, and deception, a curious romance set in the film world of Berlin in the 1930s.

About the Author

Born in Russia, Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) had a penchant for writing about the tragic and the taboo in his books, especially the still-controversial Lolita. In 1919, his family left Russia for Western Europe, and eventually settled in the United States. Although his first works were written in Russian, he became famous for his novels like Pale Fire that he wrote in English. Nabokov's erudite, inventive approach to writing — buttressed by his formidable academic and cultural intellect — made him a literary legend.
