  • "La défense Loujine est le troisième roman de Nabokov, écrit comme les deux précédents en russe et publié sous le nom de plume de V. Sirin.

Suite à son surmenage, Loujine doit abandonner les échecs pour vivre une vie normale aux côtés de la jeune femme de bonne famille qui acceptera de devenir sa femme. Mais la vie, sans les échecs, ne présente pour Loujine aucun intérêt ..."
