Nabokov may have been reluctant until late in life to travel by air, but reminiscences of early aviation (see ‘Time and Ebb’) and transatlantic flights (see Pale Fire) figure in Nabokov’s work. Here Leving channels the poetry and non-fiction of Aleksandr Blok, among other notable cultural figures of the early twentieth century, in establishing the prominence of aeronautics for the pre-Revolutionary Russia in which Nabokov came to maturation. Well-illustrated and featuring a number of relatively rare auto-related photos of Nabokov and his family (his son, of course, raced automobiles as a young man), Nabokov in Motion reflects its subject matter in a fitting, engaging way. It seems a bit churlish to fault the author for leaving out this or that cultural reference from his impressive overview of the era, but Leving might have mentioned Walter Ruttmann’s seminal film, Berlin, Symphony of a Great City, with its frenetic focus on modern contemporary life in Berlin of the 1920s. More so than any early Soviet film Leving happens to mention in his study, Ruttmann’s ecstatic, yet somewhat ominous celebration of modern Berlin runs remarkably parallel to the urban world in motion that Nabokov creatively captured on paper as an émigré writer in the city. Nevertheless, Leving captures the long, yet rapid trajectory of Nabokov’s progression through the twentieth century like few scholars can, and we are fortunate to be able to go along on this now-translated ride.

Abstract:This article explores rest in rural late imperial Russia through the spatial frame of the domestic home — that is, rest and leisure that took place in peasant homes and village streets; and in the temporal frame of rest in between and at the end of working days. Male and female sociability manifested, across generations, in gatherings at friends and neighbours' homes to chat and share news. This foundation pastime was enriched with singing, music, card and physical games, reading and listening, smoking, chewing and snacking, and for unmarried youths, flirting. This article's approach incorporates sensory and experiential approaches, with the aspiration to give a sense of smell, taste, sound and feeling in villagers' everyday life.

Abstract:The married couple Petr and Fevroniia were first canonized in 1547. In Russia today, they are celebrated as an example of supposedly 'traditional' Orthodox family values. Academic studies of the saints' early hagiographies often reinforce this idea, presenting them as idealized love stories or celebrations of Orthodox marriage. By contrast, this article argues that the first, sixteenth-century version of the saints' hagiography depicts a marriage that was unorthodox in its depiction of gender and sexuality. Although unorthodox features would later be removed from the text, there remains a gulf between contemporary and historical understandings of the saints' marriage.

published in Polish in 2021 and was originally intended for a Polish readership. Finally, yet another missed opportunity is the lack of more serious engagement with theories of world literature beyond their rather cursory treatment in the volume’s introduction. Some Polish works have already featured in world literature scholarship, something which is not adequately reflected in any of the volume’s chapters. For instance, I would expect to see at least a mention (or, more ambitiously, a critique) of Franco Moretti’s seminal paper on the development of the modern novel, which uses Ignacy Krasicki’s Adventures of Mr. Nicholas Wisdom (1776) as a case in point. It would also be helpful to see a fresh stance on Frederic Jameson’s study of Bolesław Prus’s The Doll (in Moretti’s The Novel II, Princeton, NJ, 2007), or Pascale Casanova’s discussion of Gombrowicz’s national identity in The World Republic of Letters (trans. Malcolm deBevoise, Cambridge, MA, 2004). Polish literature may not enjoy the most prominent place on the map of world literature; however, it is exactly in this type of companion where its position should be assessed, re-evaluated and consolidated in a more critical and broad-minded way.
于2021年以波兰语出版，最初是为波兰读者准备的。最后，另一个错失的机会是，除了在引言中相当粗略的处理之外，缺乏对世界文学理论的更严肃的参与。一些波兰作品已经在世界文学学术中占有一席之地，这在本书的任何章节中都没有得到充分的反映。例如，我希望至少能看到一篇关于弗朗哥·莫雷蒂(Franco Moretti)关于现代小说发展的开创性论文，这篇论文以伊格纳奇·克拉斯基(Ignacy Krasicki)的《尼古拉斯先生的冒险》(Adventures of Mr. Nicholas Wisdom, 1776)为例。看到弗雷德里克·詹姆森对Bolesław普鲁斯的《娃娃》的研究(莫雷蒂的《小说2》，普林斯顿，新泽西州，2007年)或帕斯卡尔·卡萨诺瓦在《世界文学共和国》中对贡布洛维奇的民族认同的讨论的新立场也会有所帮助。Malcolm deBevoise, Cambridge, MA, 2004)。波兰文学在世界文学版图上可能没有占据最突出的位置;然而，正是在这种类型的伙伴中，它的地位应该以更批判和更宽广的方式来评估、重新评估和巩固。
