Re: 2008 Hungarian translation of the Luzhin’s Defense (The Defense).
It was the 2nd edition, the first edition was published in 1990, from the same translator.
Actually, it was translated from RUSSIAN, from the Russian original published in 1930 and reprinted in the literary review Moskva, in 1984.
The second edition was “compared” or “conferred” if you wish with the English version… since that was the wish of Nabokov’s son… but except a few words, it was still based on my original translation from Russian.-
Do you have any idea what the remaining schedule is for Azbuka-Klassika’s VN collection?
