Title: Bend Sinister Author: Vladimir Nabokov Narrator: Robert Blumenfeld Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 39 mins Language: English Release date: 11-29-10 Publisher: Audible Studios Ratings: 3.5 of 5 out of 68 votes Genres: Classics, American Literature Publisher's Summary: The first novel Nabokov wrote while living in America, and the most overtly political novel he ever wrote, Bend Sinister is a modern classic. While it is filled with veiled puns and characteristically delightful wordplay, it is, first and foremost, a haunting and compelling narrative about a civilized man caught in the tyranny of a police state. Professor Adam Krug, the country's foremost philosopher, offers the only hope of resistance to Paduk, dictator and leader of the Party of the Average Man. In a folly of bureaucratic bungling and ineptitude, the government attempts to co-opt Krug's support in order to validate the new regime. Critic Reviews: "Moving and powerful... Nabokov writes with urbanity, humor and high drama." (The New York Times)
