Nabokov wrote it between 1935 and 1937 while living in Berlin, and it was published in serial form under his pen name, Vladimir Sirin. ''The Gift's'' fourth chapter, a pseudo-biography of the Russian writer Nikolay Chernyshevsky, was censored from publication in the Russian émigré journal ''Sovremennye zapiski'' that published the book's four other chapters.

Display Aspect Ratio
The aspect ratio of a display device is the proportional relationship between the width and the height of the display. It is expressed as two numbers separated by a colon (''x'':''y''), where ''x'' corresponds to the width and ''y'' to the height. Common aspect ratios for displays, past and present, include 5:4, 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9. Computer displays As of 2016, most computer monitors use widescreen displays with an aspect ratio of 16:9, although some portable PCs use narrower aspect ratios like 3:2 and 16:10 while some high-end desktop monitors have adopted ultrawide displays.

DAR is often represented by dialect spelling "t'" or "th'". DAR is found in most traditional Northern English varieties and even some North Midlands dialects, however, the dialects of Northumberland, northern/central County Durham, and the northernmost part of Cumberland around Carlisle are not affected by DAR. History DAR has been recorded in textual form since 1673, and the orthographic representations "t'" and "th'" occur in literature (such as in Emily Brontë's ''Wuthering Heights'') and are frequently encountered in the media. The historical origin is unclear. Links with Middle English ''te'' forms of the article remain unproved. A similar usage of an article with a consonant "t'" can also be found in Modern Dutch and in the West Frisian language off ...
