Vladimir Nabokov
After the Russian Revolution, Vera and Vladimir Nabokov lived in exile in Germany, France and the United States before settling in Switzerland in 1961.
In 1964 the novelist and his wife took up residence at the Montreux Palace. Nabokov’s favourite hobby was butterfly-hunting in the mountain pastures.
Despite the scandal it first aroused, “Lolita” is now accepted as one of the classics of twentieth century literature.
