«Le Guetteur» is the short novel by Vladimir Nabokov, published by Gallimard in the Folio collection, in paperback format (152 pages, in French).
Written in Berlin in 1930, it narrates the ordeal of Smurov, a Russian émigré who tries to rebuild his identity in an environment of social boundaries blurred by the revolution. Obsessed with imposing an image of himself, he will discover that there is no reality for a man alone and that only the observer's gaze remains.
The work was originally published in Russian in 1930 under the title «Соглядатай»; this French edition appeared on 5 July 1984.
For readers of Russian exile narrative and twentieth-century classic literature, especially those who enjoy short novels.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, also known by the pen name Vladimir Sirin, was a Russian and American novelist, poet, translator, and entomologist.
