The Ambivalence of the Sentiments and the Clairvoyance of the Thinking of Vladimir Nabokov in the Novel "The Gift"
Résumé
"The Gift" summarizes Nabokov's Russian-speaking heritage, emphasizes his characteristic clairvoyance and motivations, deepening and expanding the usual currents of thought, illustrating the idea of this classic on the cyclical nature of events throughout the world and in the literary novel as its reflection, in particular. In my psychological and psychoanalytic research of this masterpiece I analyze the impact of the mirror effect on the description of the author's similarities and dissimilarities with his central hero, the symbolic and imaginary meanings given by Nabokov as well as his ambiguous and ambivalent sentiments towards the central and secondary heroes and anti-heroes. During my analysis I observed Nabokov's complex reflections in relation to his memories of the past, his positioning in the present and projections on the future. Finally, I could see that this novel is a real creative treasure and a kind of metamorphosis of Nabokov's literary interests where all his hobbies accompanied by lyrical verses and all his thoughts-creative keys-whether it is entomology, the problem of Russia and Russian emigrants, sweet memories of his childhood , of his family, especially his admiration for the father. Nabokov's sentimental and rational clairvoyance is complete with the analysis of national literary traditions, views on Russian and foreign policies, judgments on the structure of the universe, the distinction between good and bad literature, questions of vocation and publication for writers, the relevance and legacy of each individual book, etc. All these diverse themes find its well-structured place in the novel "the Gift".
