Synopsis
Nabokov called this his "dreamiest and most poetical" novel--a Kafka-esque tale of a man named Cincinnatus C. who awaits execution for an obscure crime. Increasingly, from prison, the "real world"--which contains his unfaithful wife, the seductive daughter of the prison director, his fellow prisoners, and all his previous life--becomes more and more unreal. Finally, by the time he is executed, Cincinnatus has no commitment to the world at all, and dies leaving nothing behind. This allegory of a police state was written in 1938, toward the end of Nabokov's Berlin exile, when the horrors of fascism were becoming impossible to ignore.

Publisher's Note
A vision of a bizarre and irrational world where Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for an imaginery crime in an unnamed dream country. (Talk about existential!)
In an unnamed dream country, Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude", an imaginary crime that defies definition. After spending his last days in jail, he simply wills his executioners out of existence.

Synopsis: (for information only and is not part of the discription)

Like Kafka's The Castle, Invitation to a Beheading embodies a vision of a bizarre and irrational world. In an unnamed dream country, the young man Cincinnatus C. is condemned to death by beheading for "gnostical turpitude." an imaginary crime that defies definition. Cincinnatus spends his last days in an absurd jail, where he is visited by chimerical jailers. an executioner who masquerades as a fellow prisoner, and by his in-laws. who lug their furniture with them into his cell. When Cincinnatus is led out to be executed. he simply wills his executioners out of existence: they disappear, along with the whole world they inhabit.
