This opening chapter presents the Nabokov family and evokes Nabokov’s childhood, from his birth in 1903 in what is now Belarus to the family’s departure for St. Petersburg in 1911. His parents being separated, those years were spent with the family of his mother, née Falz-Fein, on the estate of Lubcza, on the Niemen river, and in the Ukraine, where his uncle Frederick Falz-Fein had founded what is generally considered the first biosphere, Askania-Nova.
