Adam Krung, prestigioso filósofo y profesor universitario que acaba de perder a su esposa, trata de resistir las presiones del régimen totalitario bajo el que vive. El gobierno pretende manipularlo para que apoye públicamente la ideología oficial, el ekwilismo, y a su líder, el dictador Paduk, al que el filósofo apoda «el Sapo». Y a medida que protagonista se resiste, el sistema pone en práctica métodos más siniestros para que dé su brazo a torcer…
La novela –la segunda que escribió en inglés, ya instalado en Estados Unidos– relata con tintes de sátira grotesca, pinceladas de humor muy negro y muy nabokovianos juegos metaliterarios, el descenso a los infiernos de un personaje acosado hasta el límite. Está ambientada en un imaginario país europeo inspirado en la Unión Soviética de la que la familia Nabokov había huido.
«Nabokov brilla en su visión amargamente humorística de la estrechez y estupidez del pensamiento totalitario» (Richard Watts Jr, The New Republic).
«Una sátira soberbia, caustica, nunca obvia, a ratos poética, muy efectiva» (Kirkus Reviews).
