Invitation to a Beheading by Vladimir Nabokov ---Exploring the surreal world of Vladimir Nabokov's Invitation to a Beheading, Jesan Sorrells and Claire Chandler analyze the novel's absurdist critique of totalitarianism and the societal pressures for conformity. They examine Nabokov's literary style, the challenge of translating Russian nuance into English, and how the narrative's exploration of meaning, individuality, and truth remains relevant for modern leaders. The episode draws powerful connections between the search for meaning in the 20th and 21st centuries, the impact of technological noise, and the leader's responsibility to pursue authenticity in an increasingly absurd world.Book Title: Invitation to a Beheading Author: Vladimir NabokovGuest Names: Jesan Sorrells (Host), Claire Chandler (Guest)---Time-Stamped Overview---00:00 Discussing influential dystopian literature11:20 Discussing Nabokov's complex themes13:03 Nabokov and totalitarian regimes22:52 Discussing the book's translation challenges24:25 Discussing multilingual communication challenges29:04 Discussion on Cincinnatus's imprisonment37:35 Bringing Jungian myth to academia43:36 Russian writers and dystopian themes49:18 Moving furniture and family tensions51:06 Cincinnatus C. helps move furniture01:01:30 Choosing truth over conformity01:06:42 Local debate over data centers01:12:31 Finding clarity amidst distractions01:16:12 Deconstruction and authority confusion01:20:41 Addressing lack of accountability01:28:53 The impact of AI on society01:34:00 Surviving social media surveillance01:40:11 Discussing societal complacency and noise01:47:02 Discussing Cincinnatus' writings01:48:37 Legacy and leadership importance01:53:28 End of the conversation---Opening theme composed by Felipe Sarro - Bach - Silotti - "Air"  from Orchestra Suite No. 3, BWV 1068 Closing theme composed by Brian Sanyshyn of Brian Sanyshyn Music.---Pick up your copy of 12 Rules for Leaders: The Foundation of Intentional Leadership NOW on AMAZON!Check out the Leadership Lessons From the Great Books podcast reading list!---Subscribe to the Leadership Lessons From The Great Books Podcast: https://bit.ly/LLFTGBSubscribeCheck out Leadership ToolBox at: https://leadershiptoolbox.us/ ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Russian master's slim novel from 1958--just a year after Lolita--is such a dream. Truly one of my favorite books. We dive deep into narrative stance, satire, structure, figurative language, the campus novel and SQUIRRELS.

Noen av dine beste venner står alltid med ryggen til, sier Knut. Han sikter til bøkene. Både Knut og Lena elsker bøker. Og i denne episoden er ekteparet igjen sammen i studioet. Man må trene på å lese, det kommer ikke av seg selv, er de begge enige om.Knut leser de gamle eventyrerne for barnebarnet som han selv hadde glede av som liten.Hjelper det for barna å se at de voksne leser? Går de da foran som gode eksempler? Er det å mase på barna at de burde lese, det samme som når vi maser om at de skal rydde rommet sitt?Hva er egentlig bra og hva er dårlig litteratur? Og hvordan forholder vi oss til at barna leser noe vi selv ikke liker?Norske femtenåringer ligger på bunn når det gjelder leseferdigheter, viser Pisaundersøkelser. Hva så med lesegleden, lurer Lena på? Her ligger vi helt på bunn bland over seksti land, forteller Knut. Han har lest en artikkel i Aftenposten, der en PIRSL undersøkelse fra 2021 målte hvor mange barn som liker å lese. Sisteplass? Norge.Lena og Knut er innom både Prosessen av Kafka og Lolita av Vladimir Nabokov. Om hvor forskjellig vi leser bøker etter hvilket sted i livet vi er.Lena heier på at skolene nå gjeninnfører bøkene.

You might remember the Police referring to "that book by Nabokov." Well this isn't it. It's an earlier book about a Russian immigrant. With special guest Longinus, the boys drink and review "Dance of Days" IPA by Atlas Brew Works, then take on Vladimir Nabokov's Pnin — a novel that's equal parts frustrating, funny, and quietly devastating.At first glance, Timofey Pnin looks like a classic “nice guy who finishes last”: awkward, socially out of place, and constantly overlooked. But as we dig deeper, the question becomes harder to answer. Is Pnin really a loser, or is he one of the only genuinely decent people in the story?We explore:* Whether Pnin is a victim of others… or of the narrator himself* The role of the unreliable narrator and what it does to your perception of the story* The strange structure of the novel—more like a series of vignettes than a traditional plot* The tension between Pnin's outward awkwardness and the profound suffering underneath* Why this might be a book you appreciate more after reading it than while reading itWe also wrestle with a bigger question: what's the relationship between intelligence, social success, and moral worth?And of course, we start with a beer.If you've ever struggled through a “classic” and wondered what you were missing, this one's for you.

Vem var Vladimir Nabokov – fjärilsforskaren och exilaristokraten? Och hur blev hans roman ”Lolita” en av världslitteraturens mest missförstådda böcker? Vladimir hade en adlig uppväxt i Sankt Petersburg, men tvingades leva i exil i USA. Vladimirs erfarenheter av olika livsöden och förluster kom att forma romanen Lolita. Det är en komplex, missförstådd och djupt antitotalitär berättelse som fortfarande väcker starka reaktioner, inte minst i samband med Epstein-skandalen.

Lolita, the novel by Vladimir Nabokov, still stirs controversy seven decades after its first publication. The basic storyline is infamous. WSHU's Book Critic Joan Baum says what often gets overlooked is Nabokov's eloquent writing and his examination of how unchecked desire destroys lives.

La Biblioteca de Don Asensio en Hoy por Hoy se ve inmersa, con todos sus empleados, en una distopía en la que la novela 'Lolita' de Vladimir Nabokov está cancelada y prohibida. Ante la sospecha que aún quedan algunos ejemplares clandestinos entre sus estanterías,  la policía interviene el lugar con las consecuencias que ya pueden oir en este podcast. Una locura más

Antonio Martínez Asensio vuelve a abrir la sala de lectura de tres minutos de La Biblioteca de Hoy por Hoy para 'Lolita', escrito por Vladimir Nabokov.

Luna Miguel sitúa temporalmente su nueva novela 'Incensurable' (Lumen)  en el futuro, el 29 de octubre de 2029, fecha en la que la protagonista Lectrice Santos da una conferencia en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid sobre "el placer y la censura". Y centra su foco en 'Lolita" de Vladimir Nabokov, una novela que en ese año, en la ficción de Luna Miguel, está  cancelada. Esto tendrá consecuencias para la ponente, pero más allá de lo novelesco en esta obra se esconde un ensayo literario de gran nivel al que animamos a disfrutar. Luna Miguel nos presento en la Biblioteca Antonio Martinez Asensio de Hoy por  Hoy 'Incensurable' , pero también nos donó para nuestras estanterías radiofónicas 'El viaje sin fin' de Monique Witting (ed. Con tinta me tienes), una relectura feminista y lésbica del Quijote. Pero antes de todo esto, nuestro bibliotecario Antonio Martínez Asensio nos contó en tres minutos 'Lolita'  de Vladimir Nabokov (Anagrama) y terminó recomendando el libro de su programa 'un libro, una hora', que en esta ocasión fue  'La de bringas' de Benito Pérez Galdós (Alianza Editorial). El empleado Pepe Rubio nos trajo dos novedades : 'La pregunta 7' de Richard Flanagan (Libros del Asteroide) y 'Eso era amor' de Ángel González, con ilustraciones de Pablo Auladell (Nórdica ). El empleado solidario Pascual Donate rescató entre los libros abandonados de la redacción de la SER 'Fuera de la carretera' de Carolyn Cassady (Anagrama ). Finalmente nuestros oyentes nos donaron: 'Vestido de novia' de Pierre Lemaitre (Alfaguara), 'Elogio de las manos' de Jesús Carrasco (Seix Barral), 'Un día volveré' de Juan Marsé (Lumen) y 'Los aires difíciles' de Almudena Grandes (Tusquets).

“I’m interested in writing because I don’t want to sleepwalk through life. I feel like we have an appallingly brief time on earth, and we’re here to see and understand and do as much good as we can before we’re gone.” –Anthony Doerr In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Anthony talk about how the pace of travel changes the experience of travel, and what it’s like to travel as a writer (2:45); how to manage the local and the global, the specific and the universal, the concrete and the speculative, in one’s writing (12:30); how the idea of “home” influences one’s craft as a writer who travels (23:00); common mistakes writers make when writing about places and cultures they don’t know well, and humiliating travel (and book-tour) experiences (31:00). Anthony Doerr is a novelist and essayist, and short story writer. His 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and was made into a Netflix miniseries in 2023.

«El estilo es sustancia», dijo Vladimir Nabokov. Y James Salter dijo «El estilo es lo que perdura».A pesar de su importancia, con frecuencia el estilo no recibe la atención que merece. Como se suele decir que el estilo se mejora con la práctica —lo que es cierto—, muchos escritores noveles consideran que basta con que sigan escribiendo.No te habrá costado adivinar que hoy voy a hablarte de estilo y te daré algunas ideas para que conozcas mejor el estilo que ya tienes y para que, además, lo mejores y empieces a indagar en el que te puede ser propio.-----EL RETO DE LECTURA DE SINJANIA: https://www.sinjania.com/reto-de-lectura-2025/CURSO DE ESTILO: https://www.sinjania.com/curso-de-estilo/-----Si te ha gustado este contenido, recuerda puntuarnos con 5 estrellas, comentar y compartir el episodio; así nos ayudarás a llegar a más escritores y conseguir crear una gran comunidad.-----✉️ Todas las semanas publicamos nuevos artículos en exclusiva solo para nuestros suscriptores.

Thanks to his invention of Europe's first typographic printing method, and his pioneering work on the first printed Bible, the fifteenth-century German inventor Johannes Gutenberg has a fame and reputation that continues to this day. In 1997, Time magazine credited him with the most important innovation of the past one thousand years. However, due to scant and vague documentation, Gutenberg's actual life and career have been clouded in myth and speculation. In this episode, Jacke talks to scholar Eric Marshall White about his new book, Johannes Gutenberg: A Biography in Books, which seeks to correct the record by analyzing Gutenberg and the books that remain his lasting monument. PLUS HOL pays tribute to Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's beautifully told tale of a dark and ugly obsession (and #14 on the list of the Greatest Books of All Time), by repeating excerpts from three previous interviews, in which Jenny Minton Quigley, Jim Shepard, and Joshua Ferris talk about Nabokov and his highly controversial novel.

By 1980, The Police were really on a roll. Their first two albums, Outlandos d'Amour and Regatta de Blanc had introduced their punk/reggae stylings to the world and had earned platinum awards on both sides of the Atlantic. Their success meant they were in demand - as a live act around the world and in the studio by A&M records. Also due to their success, they had to record outside of the UK and chose Wisseloord Studio in the Netherlands to work on their third record, Zenyatta Mondatta. However, they had to wrap up the Regatta de Blanc tour, retreat to The Netherlands with whatever they had been writing on the road, run off to Ireland and Milton Keynes for a couple of shows, record and mix the album all in one month before they disembarked for their next tour. Though they were working with Nigel Gray, producer of their first two albums, they didn't have time to explore the songs as much as they just needed to lay them down so they could release the record on time. Still, under all that pressure, they managed to cobble together a fine album that would go double platinum in the US. Thanks in large part to the lead single Don't Stand So Close To Me, an ode to Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov based on Sting's experience as a teacher, which would be the boys first #1 in the UK and first Top 10 in the US. Though the lyrics may have been troubling, the song is an upbeat dance tune - something The Police would master while talking about famine (Driven To Tears), the importance of the words people say (De Doo Doo Doo, De Da Da Da) and the monotony of life on the road (Man In A Suitcase). Of course Sting did most of the writing but Andy Summers contributed the Grammy winning Behind My Camel (instrumental) and Stewart Copeland offered Bombs Away & The Other Way of Stopping. The Police never liked the mix on the record and felt they could have done better. They rerecorded the two singles in an ill-fated reunion attempt in 1986 and Sting would rework Shadows In The Rain on Dream of The Blue Turtles. But for Police fans this does stand the test of time and we celebrate Zenyatta Mondatta as it turns 45.

Wie kent haar niet: Lolita, het jonge, verleidelijke meisje met de hartjeszonnebril en lolly in haar mond. Het kind dat oudere aanbidders gek maakt van verlangen. Het oorspronkelijke personage Lolita is ontsproten uit de fantasie van schrijver Vladimir Nabokov. Wat bedoelde hij eigenlijk met zijn baanbrekende boek? En hoe kon Lolita daarna zo’n invloedrijk en schadelijk archetype worden?Esma Linnemann bespreekt het - tijdens de week van het verboden boek - met chef kunst Herien Wensink en filmjournalist Basje Boer, die over vrouwelijke clichés en de male gaze de bundel Pose uitbracht.Presentatie: Esma LinnemannMontage: Julia van AlemEindredactie: Jasper VeenstraSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Taking recent spectacular progress in AI fully into account, Mark Seligman's AI and Ada: Artificial Translation and Creation of Literature (Anthem Press, 2025) explores prospects for artificial literary translation and composition, with frequent reference to the hyperconscious literary art of Vladimir Nabokov. The exploration balances reader-friendly explanation (“What are transformers?”) and original insights (“What is intelligence? What is language?”) with personal and playful notes, and culminates in an assortment of striking demos The book's Preface places the current AI explosion in the context of other technological cataclysms and recounts the author's personal (and not always deadly serious) AI journey. Chapter One (“Extracting the Essence”) assesses the potential of machine translation of literature, exploiting Nabokov's hyperconscious literary art as a reference point. Chapter Two (“Toward an Artificial Nabokov”) goes on to speculate on possibilities for actual artificial creation of literature. Chapter Three (“Large Literary Models? Intelligence and Language in the LLM Era”) explains recent spectacular progress in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), as exemplified by Large Language Models like ChatGPT. On the way, the chapter ventures to tackle perennial questions (“What is intelligence?” “What is language?”) and culminates in an assortment of striking demos. In this episode, Ibrahim Fawzy sat with Mark Seligman to talk about how the current AI revolution fits into the long arc of cultural and technological shifts, Seligman's framing of the “Great Transition” between Humanity 1.0 and 2.0, Nabokov's style as a lens for thinking about artificial creativity, the possibilities and limits of machine translation and literary artistry, and the philosophical stakes of whether AI-generated works can ever truly be considered art.Ibrahim Fawzy is an Egyptian literary translator and writer based in Boston.

The Trump administration halted major offshore wind projects in the Northeast, citing cost and national security concerns. Environmental advocates say wind power is key to meeting clean energy goals.  The Eames House survived the Palisades Fire, underwent smoke remediation and other repairs, and reopened in late July.   Vladimir Nabokov’s “Lolita” is the story of a middle-aged professor with an insatiable obsession with little girls, who sexually assaults his 12-year-old stepdaughter. It’s also one of literature’s most celebrated novels — acclaimed for its prose and wordplay. Critics review the latest film releases: “The Conjuring: Last Rites,” “Preparation for the Next Life,” “Twinless,” and “The Threesome.”

Arthur Marchetto e Cecilia Garcia Marcon investigam o conceito de "romantização" na literatura. A discussão examina como certas narrativas transformam temas complexos ou problemáticos em representações idealizadas - e quando, na verdade, não chegam nem perto disso.Os participantes analisam o fenômeno através de obras como "Tudo é Rio", de Carla Madeira, e "Lolita", de Vladimir Nabokov, explorando a representação da realidade ou a percepção romantizada.Além disso, a conversa também reflete sobre o papel do leitor dentro dessa lógica.

All Future Plunges to the Past: James Joyce in Russian Literature (Cornell UP, 2021) explores how Russian writers from the mid-1920s on have read and responded to Joyce's work. Through contextually rich close readings, José Vergara uncovers the many roles Joyce has occupied in Russia over the last century, demonstrating how the writers Yury Olesha, Vladimir Nabokov, Andrei Bitov, Sasha Sokolov, and Mikhail Shishkin draw from Joyce's texts, particularly Ulysses and Finnegans Wake, to address the volatile questions of lineages in their respective Soviet, émigré, and post-Soviet contexts. Interviews with contemporary Russian writers, critics, and readers of Joyce extend the conversation to the present day, showing how the debates regarding the Irish writer's place in the Russian pantheon are no less settled one hundred years after Ulysses. The creative reworkings, or translations, of Joycean themes, ideas, characters, plots, and styles made by the five writers Vergara examines speak to shifting cultural norms, understandings of intertextuality, and the polarity between Russia and the West. Vergara illuminates how Russian writers have used Joyce's ideas as a critical lens to shape, prod, and constantly redefine their own place in literary history. All Future Plunges to the Past offers one overarching approach to the general narrative of Joyce's reception in Russian literature. While each of the writers examined responded to Joyce in an individual manner, the sum of their methods reveals common concerns. This subject raises the issue of cultural values and, more importantly, how they changed throughout the twentieth century in the Soviet Union, Russian emigration, and the post-Soviet Russian environment.

“I admire Freud greatly,” the novelist Vladimir Nabokov once said, “as a comic writer.” For Nabokov, Sigmund Freud was “the Viennese witch-doctor,” objectionable for “the vulgar, shabby, fundamentally medieval world” of his ideas. Author Joshua Ferris (The Dinner Party, Then We Came to the End) joins Jacke for a discussion of the author of Lolita and his special hatred for “the Austrian crank with a shabby umbrella.” [This episode was originally released on September 30, 2017.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 16, 2024 is: allusion • uh-LOO-zhun • noun An allusion is a reference to something that avoids mentioning the thing directly. Allusion may also describe the use of such a statement or the act of alluding to something. // The lyrics contain biblical allusions. // They made allusion to their first marriage, but said nothing more about it. See the entry > Examples: “The Rings of Power is full of echoes and allusions to the original [Lord of the Rings] trilogy.” — James Grebey, Vulture, 4 Oct. 2024 Did you know? An allusion is not a play on words—that would be a pun—but allusion does come from the Latin verb allūdere, which in turn combines the verb lūdere, meaning “play,” with the prefix ad-, which can mean “to,” “toward,” or “near.” One way of thinking about an allusion—an indirect reference, especially (though not exclusively) as used in literature—is that it “plays toward or around” something rather than naming it directly. For example, Picnic, Lightning, the title of a book by poet Billy Collins, is an allusion to a line from Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita. This allusion—like most—works on the assumption that there is a body of knowledge shared by the author and reader and that therefore the reader will understand the reference. Don't be misled by the similar pronunciation and spelling of allusion and illusion, however. You wouldn't be the first, but the latter—which also comes from lūdere—refers to something that is visually or otherwise misleading.

On this week's show, Slate experts June Thomas (author of A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture) and Dan Kois (author of Hampton Heights: One Harrowing Night in the Most Haunted Neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) fill in for Dana and Julia. First, the trio tackles Blitz, director Steve McQueen's new film about the German bombings of London during World War II, which stars Saoirse Ronan, Harris Dickinson, and randomly, Paul Weller. For a McQueen movie, it's quite traditional – predictable plot beats, an easy to understand moral viewpoint – but as a piece of culture, does it work? Is the film informative and incredibly ambitious? Or didactic and boring?  Then, the panel unravels HBO's Get Millie Black, a British crime drama set in Kingston, Jamaica. Created by Marlon James, the five-part detective series delivers a good, old-fashioned mystery (there's corruption! Familial complications! Rich queer narratives! And way too much voiceover!) that reveals itself slowly, like peeling back the layers of an onion. Finally, can a “vibe” be copyrighted, in a world built on copying? The hosts pour over “Bad Influence,” a reported piece by The Verge about the groundbreaking legal case between two lifestyle influencers that has the potential to radically alter the online commerce industry.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses movie credits and debates the merits of sitting through them.  We are still taking questions for our annual call-in show!

Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond's yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond's YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations.
