Book Details
First Sentence
"Nabokov's first novel, Mary (1926), written only a few years after the writer's own exile, opens predictably with an emigre setting of a pension "both Russian and nasty" in the midst of Berlin: Russian, because it is inhabited by people derailed from their homeland owing to the tragic force of the Bolshevik revolution; nasty, because the pension is so close to the railroad that its walls shake and rattle as if a train were going through it."
