New York: Vintage, 1955. 50th Anniversary Edition - Reprint. Paperback. NEW. 317 pp. [20 cm] Illustrated wraps with black and white spine. Awe and exhilaration - along with heartbreak and mordant wit - abound in Lolita, Vladimir Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Most of all, it is a meditation on love - love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation. (Inventory #: 22599)
