Poems and Problems is a hybrid collection that brings together Nabokov’s poetry and his original chess compositions, revealing the deep connection he perceived between verbal art and logical design. The volume contains a selection of poems written in English and Russian (presented in translation), followed by a section of chess problems composed by Nabokov over several decades. Each chess problem is accompanied by commentary explaining its aesthetic and conceptual structure. |
