Reynolds Pamphlet
The Reynolds Pamphlet (1797) is an essay by Alexander Hamilton. Written while Hamilton was serving as Secretary of the Treasury, the Pamphlet was intended as a defense against accusations that Hamilton had conspired with James Reynolds to misuse funds meant to cover unpaid wages to Revolutionary War veterans. Admitting to an affair with Maria, Reynolds’ wife, Hamilton claims that the accusation is nothing more than an attempt at blackmail. This revelation not only endangered Hamilton’s career as a public figure, but constituted perhaps the earliest sex scandal in American history. “The bare perusal of the letters from Reynolds and his wife is sufficient to convince my greatest enemy that there is nothing worse in the affair than an irregular and indelicate amour. For this, I bow to the just censure which it merits. I have paid pretty severely for the folly and can never recollect it without disgust and self condemnation. It might seem affectation to say more.” Accused of corruption in

Vladimir Nabokov
Brian Boyd, einer der besten Kenner von Nabokovs (1899?1977) Leben und Werk, beschreibt das liberale aristokratische Milieu, in dem er aufwuchs, die Flucht der Familie aus Rußland, seine Studienzeit in Cambridge, die Ermordung des Vaters in Berlin. Es folgen die Jahre, in denen Vladimir Nabokov und seine Frau V?ra in Deutschland und Frankreich in Armut lebten und die Flucht in die Vereinigten Staaten.Boyd untersucht Nabokovs Verhältnis zu den Zeitläufen, spürt den besonderen Strukturen seines Denkens und Schreibens nach. Zudem gibt er gedrängte Einführungen in die Romane, Memoiren, Dramen und Gedichte des Autors, analysiert seine wichtigen Bücher. Er ist so dem Leser ein kenntnisreicher Führer durch das Werk. ?Die russischen Jahre? sind eine packende Darstellung von Nabokovs Leben, Nabokovs Welt im vorrevolutionären Rußland und in der Emigration.
