Abstract to the book "A man from the USSR. Plays 1927-1938" Nabokov V. V.: This collection includes Vladimir Nabokov's plays "The Man from the USSR", "The Event" and "The Invention of the Waltz", created in Germany and France in 1926-1938. Unlike the early poetic plays, they are written in prose, in which the already recognized writer continues his thematic and plot searches. The mysterious projects of Kuznetsov, who came to Berlin from the USSR, the family drama of the artist Troshcheikin, the mad whirling of the inventor of the Waltz between reality and fantasy — the conflicts and collisions of these plays are surprisingly modern and fascinating. The drama "The Man from the USSR", unpublished during Nabokov's lifetime, is printed according to the archive text. The play "The Invention of the Waltz" was first published in an expanded edition in 1968. The publication is provided with editor's comments and an appendix including new archival materials.
