Kafka, in this article the relation between this novel and gnosticism is dealt at. Particular parts of the novel are compared with parts of gnostic tracts. As the conclusion we can say with no doubt, that the Nabokov´s novel bears traces of gnosticism and we can also state that the novel has reached high level in respect to epiphany.
