The present collection of poems by Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) consists of both well-known and first published works written in Europe and America in 1918-1947. Recently deciphered and newly found in the writer's archive poems, including "The Legend of the Moon" (1920), "Electricity" (1920), "In the Wild North" (1920), "Olympicum" (1921), significantly complement the Russian part of his bilingual poetic baggage and reveal unknown sides in his creative development. In the poetry of the famous author of Lolita and Ada, the origins and prerequisites of the originality of his prose are revealed: subtle psychologism, picturesque visibility of descriptions, accurate observations, a special "mirroring" style, a combination of fiction with autobiography.The poems "Two" (1919), "The Legend of the Moon", "Electricity", "Wild in the North" are published for the first time; the text of the most significant of Nabokov's early poems "Sunny Dream" (1923) is re-checked with the manuscript.The Appendix publishes another recent archival find, "The Plaintive Song of Superman" (1942), — the original Nabokov interpretation of the image of the hero of American comics. The publication is provided with comments and illustrative material.
