Abstract

The article considers the manifestation of cinematography in V. Nabokov's fiction discourse. The analysis of the peculiarities of the origin and functioning of cinematography in the fiction discourse of V. Nabokov is important for understanding the place and role of cinema in the author's novel work and, in particular, for understanding some semantic, ideological and plot aspects. The analysis is based on the analysis of the author's English-language novels: «Laughter in the Dark», «Lolita», «Pale Fire» and «The Original of Laura». The article also aims to continue the research of cinema poetics in the novel work of V. Nabokov in general. The article examines the influence of cinematography on the life and work of the writer V. Nabokov. We update the essential role of cinematography in the Berlin period of the writer's work. We trace the implementation of cinematography through the author's dramaturgical work. In English-language novels, we note cinematic elements and trace their place and meaning. We turn to the script of the film adaptation of «Lolita» and the writer's epistolary with directors S. Kubrick and A. Hitchcock. We trace the reflection of technical, semantic, and aesthetic elements in the artistic discourse of V. Nabokov.
