Despair (Отчаяние (Otchayanie) in Russian) was written by Vladimir Nabokov and originally published as a serial in Sovremennye Zapiski during 1934. It was then published as a book in 1936 and later translated to English by the author in 1937.

In 1978 it was adapted into a movie, which premiered at The Cannes Film Festival on 19 May, directed by the German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
