Over the next eighty days, immediately upon waking, he wrote down his dreams, following the instructions in \u003ci\u003eAn Experiment with Time\u003c\/i\u003e by British philosopher John Dunne. The purpose was to test the theory that time may go in reverse, so that a later event may generate an earlier dream. The result--published here for the first time--is a fascinating diary in which Nabokov recorded sixty-four dreams (and subsequent daytime episodes) on 118 index cards, providing a rare glimpse of the artist at his most private. \u003ci\u003eInsomniac Dreams\u003c\/i\u003e presents the text of Nabokov's dream experiment, illustrated with a selection of his original index cards, and provides rich annotations and analysis that put them in the context of his life and writings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vladimir Nabokov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691196907\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691196909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Vladimir Nabokov","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44138386489599,"sku":"9780691196909","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30254f94-cd87-4fd7-9cfa-b8613dd5efe8.jpg?v=1687899372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/insomniac-dreams-vladimir-nabokov-9780691196909","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
