Name: «Mathematics governs the world»: “Forms”, “shapes” and “lines” in Russian novels of Nabokov

Abstract: In my article I examine what geometric forms, shapes and lines have been the subject of special Nabokov’s attention when he described reality, works of art and the process of generating images in the text. I prove that all Nabokov's novels are a kind of «metanovel» (V. Erofeev) in which geometric symbols play an important role in the interpretation of the text.

Keywords: Geometric shapes and forms, symbolic meaning, metanovel, text, exposure of a literary device
