Invitation to a Beheading | Vladimir Nabokov | The past delusional scent before the death penalty revolution

Soviet literature When you read some of the works, writers who expressed communism and socialism in a positive system also meet writers who negatively expressed it. In the previous house, Maxim Gorki, the founder of socialist realism literature, can be a representative of the greatest master of Russian literature, can be represented representatively, on the other side 『The Gulag Archipelago』 Solzhenitsyn, 『We』 Yevgeny Ivanovich Zamyatin, Andrei Platonov's 『The Foundation Pit』 etc. And Russian exiled writer Vladimir Nabokov 『Invitation to a Beheading』, famous for 『Lolita』 introduced today, is also the biggest reason why his family had to exile as a Russian socialist revolution I think that it is a work in which dissatisfaction with the heterogeneous social trend brought about by was born.

The prison life of the protagonist Cincinnatus' s protagonist who received a death sentence for a reason that only one person is transparent in a society controlled by a transparent person imagines the nostalgia for the past, and the writing for expressing internal dissatisfaction is the main It is a routine. To him all the things and people that exist are 'meaningless welcome, unpleasant dreams, garbage-like bullshit, nightmare galaxies'. So, in order to escape from these fictitious worlds, "From theoretically sleeping to" awakening is impossible without the help of others, so with the help of executioner Muush Pierre Death he will escape from the final fiction world and will go to the world where all the freedom that he dreamed is guaranteed.

What makes the Chinchinato, which reflects the author as it is, so dissatisfied with the former Soviet Union's society?

Writers from abundant aristocrats are a collective and homogenized society that emphasizes the interests of the group more than individual personality and freedom, as a result of the collapse of the clan that the revolution brought and the communist society brought about. In addition, I could not expand my talent among the rigid atmosphere and social cold weather that it brought. In addition, the fact that he had to leave his hometown semi-compulsively for the revolution and the author's father was assassinated by the Russian extremists was also a big pain for him.

"The understanding itself for" the past "that no one was generous about the past has changed itself to other things," the writer says. So he has attached attachment and rethink in the past. However, he is a serious past in Russia before the revolution. In other words, he can also see that he stands behind the position of wealthy aristocrats who did not want a revolution.

When a nobleman sees, workers and farmers have nothing attached, they do not know anything, so they are not hidden or hidden and they are naked and transparent and the same. However, the writers from wealthy aristocrats are not trying to understand the fact that they were not free to the workers and farmers at the time, more concerned about the food and cold in front of me, more important. Young Gulji not rhetoric desire of art is sometimes seen with arrogant arrogance and vanity. It seems that he saw farmers and workers from a completely different viewpoint from Count Tolstoy who is from the same aristocrat.

That's why the writer has passed away from his hometown and beyond repelling the regret and the tired body and mind coming from a long-running exiled lonely life memorizing and remembering the past before the Russian revolution, by completing reprocessing for writing Comforting yourself while creating a new world that you dream of. He abandoned the Russian word, chose English and chose the way as the American writer, but stayed at the hotel so that he could return home at any time without establishment until the day he died, from there If you look at the way you finished your life, you can learn how he missed the homeland, teasing Russia before the revolution.

Nabokov's 『Invitation to a Beheading』 has no special incident or plot that allows the reader to easily turn over the pages while reading easily. So, further understanding was a difficult work. It was because I had a kind explanation of the translator because I could write a raw review poorly. So I looked at the commentary and built a connection with a work by a nobleman of a slightly unique writer.

Well, the writer was able to demonstrate artistic talent by reprocessing the memory of the past, and imagination because there was such a special past. And his unfortunate past also manifests the thought of Cincinnatus. "I know something, I know something, but I think that it is very difficult to express! No, I can not do it." Cincinnatus's anguish is that writers exile to Europe as experts I was deprived of the freedom of expression before, seriously worried about social repression, so fierce expressive piled up repressed talent accumulated intense stress on the mental burden and expressive thirst of the writer You can expect without difficulty. This work may indicate such a trauma.
