Known primarily as the author of \u003ci\u003eLolita\u003c\/i\u003e, he was at first scorned as a pornographer but eventually hailed as the writer of a masterpiece. A Russian born into wealth and privilege, he was forced into exile by the Bolshevik Revolution. Married to a Jewish woman and living in poverty in Berlin, he fled first to Paris and then to America, always barely one step ahead of the Nazis. His 50-year career encompassed the creation of brilliant novels, teaching positions at Wellesley and Cornell, and work as a respected scientist in lepidoptery at Harvard's Museum of Comparative Zoology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This A-Z guide to Nabokov's life and achievements runs the gamut from \u003ci\u003eAcademe\u003c\/i\u003e, that rarefied, collegiate realm of Nabokov's most biting satires, to \u003ci\u003eZoorland\u003c\/i\u003e, a fictitious totalitarian country that bans the arts because they give talented people opportunities to rise above the masses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Gaffney\u003c\/b\u003e taught composition and literature at Penn State University and Lock Haven University.
