Summary/Abstract: My reflexions propose a parallel reading of Pasternak and Nabokov. Firstly, some possible perspectives in the comparative research of these two authors are listed. Then, there follows an outline of some typological similarities in the two writers’ early period that may be deducted from their literary situation of the time and their similar position between traditions and innovations. Finally, I discuss a very possible intertextual dialogue that may cast a new light on Nabokov’s Pale Fire.
