The book "Literary Criticism" by Vladimir Nabokov is a collection of essays that explore the art of literature and its relationship with the world around us. The author argues that literature is not just a form of entertainment or escapism, but rather a way of understanding and interpreting the world we live in. He believes that literature has the power to shape our perceptions and attitudes towards life, and that it can help us to see the world in a new light. The book is divided into three sections: the first section explores the concept of "reality" in literature, the second section examines the role of "truth" in literature, and the third section discusses the relationship between "art" and "life". Throughout the book, Nabokov uses his unique perspective as a Russian-American writer to challenge traditional notions of literature and offer fresh insights into the nature of the art form. One of the key themes of the book is the idea that literature is a reflection of the human experience, and that it can help us to understand ourselves and others better. Nabokov argues that literature has the power to capture the nuances of human emotion and experience, and that it can provide a deeper understanding of the human condition than other forms of art.
