Spring in Fialta and other stories (Весна в Фиальте и другие рассказы; "Vesna v Fialʹte i drugie rasskazy") is a collection of short stories by the Russian author Vladimir Nabokov. The collection contains 14 short stories written between 1931 and 1940.[1] It was originally planned to be published in 1939 in Paris; however, due to the approach of World War II, it became an abandoned project.[2]
The collection was first published in Russian in 1956 by the Chekhov Publishing House in New York.
