<h1>Nabokov's Butterfly</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p style="margin-top:60px;">Aside from being known as a writer, Nabokov is also a collector and researcher of butterflies of published writings.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In 1975, while collecting <a href="butterfly_specimen.html">butterfly specimen</a> in Davos, he slipped into a valley. His health significantly degraded in the next 18 months and died in 1977.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>In his later years he had remarked that, if not because the Russian Revolution, he would have been a professional lepidopterist, and would not have written a single novel. Born in an aristocratic family in St.Petersburg, Nabokov's father was a progressive statesman during the last years of the Russian Empire; one of the founding members of Constitutional Democratic Party; and a advocate for Jewish rights in the Russian Empire. After the Bolshevik Revolution, his family fled Russia to seek refugee. During this time Nabokov was enrolled as a student in England studying zoology.</p>
