According to Wikipedia, Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov , also known by the pen name Vladimir Sirin , was an expatriate Russian and Russian-American novelist, poet, translator, and entomologist. Born in Imperial Russia in 1899, Nabokov wrote his first nine novels in Russian while living in Berlin, where he met his wife. He achieved international acclaim and prominence after moving to the United States, where he began writing in English.
