El éxito depende cada vez más de cómo interactuamos con los demás. Resulta que en el trabajo, la mayoría de las personas operan como tomadores, igualadores o donantes. Mientras que los que toman se esfuerzan por obtener lo más posible de los demás y los que igualan buscan comerciar de manera uniforme, los que dan son la rara clase de personas que contribuyen a los demás sin esperar nada a cambio.

The Gift is the last of the novels Nabokov wrote in his native Russian and the crowning achievement of that period in his literary career. It is also his ode to Russian literature, evoking the works of Pushkin, Gogol, and others in the course of its narrative: the story of Fyodor Godunov-Cherdyntsev, an impoverished emigre poet living in Berlin, who dreams of the book he will someday write--a book very much like The Gift itself.
