Nabokov, V. V. Cruelty and Mystification. Translation by N. G. Krotovskaya

Abstract: In his lectures Nabokov makes an attempt to help students take a different look at Miguel Cervantes’ book, free from false pietism as a result of a long-term interpretation tradition which turned a cruel and harsh book into a modest myth about the appearance and reality.

philology, Don Quixote, rethinking, cruelty, mystification, magic, appearance, reality, illusion, creativity.
