Body
EDITOR's NOTE. A major moment in Nabokov studies! Maurice Couturier, the
pre-eminent French Nabokov specialist and editor of the Pleiade Nabokov,
announces below the appearance of the first vol. of the set. It contains
most of VN's Russian novels (in French translation) in 1400 pages. More
important for non-French readers, however, are the very extensive
annotations prepared by the distinguished editorial board---320 pp. set in
in small type.
