Sobre este artículo
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov Hardcover First UK Edition - First Printing London: Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1959. 21s original cover price. Modern Library ranked Lolita as the 4th most important novel of the 20th century.
Lolita has a strange publishing history. It was first published in two paperbacks by The Olympia Press in Paris in 1955, most near fine or better copies are priced at $5000+. It was then published later by G.P. Putnam's Sons in the US later the same year and finally in the UK in 1959. Even the US edition is often priced at $1000+. This is a less-expensive alternative.
Very Good+ in Fine- dust jacket. A beautiful copy with a particularly exceptional dust jacket. Boards are clean, hint of a bend to the front board, some spotting to the edges of the text block and end-papers (due to the quality of the paper and age) but the interior pages look much brighter. The dust jacket is beautiful NO chips or tears. Typical toning to the back. Otherwise an exceptionally nice copy of this book overall, not often found as such. Most copies are missing the jackets or have many imperfections.
NOTE: All modern books with dust jackets come with dust jacket covers.

Sinopsis
Lolita is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th Century. The cultural influence of Lolita cannot be understated, and numerous editions have been printed since 1955. The book has been made into movies, plays, and has sparked countless conversations about relationships and the nature of obsession. Even the covers of the later editions have sparked controversy, as they feature potentially suggestive depictions of the famous "nymphet". Unsurprisingly, Lolita is often at the top of banned books lists in high schools.

Reseñas
El Aug 26 2014, un lector dijo:
Vladimir Nabokov's postmodern masterpiece about a man's obsession with a young girl is nothing short of remarkable. Not only does Nabokov situate the story within the context of Cold War America, but he has the ability to make the reader sympathise with an otherwise immoral character. Through Nabokov's lyrical, poetic and deceptive writing, the story becomes at once comical and poignant. Underneath all the amusing and colourful metaphors and allusions to American popular culture is a deeply affecting story about obsession, innocence and unrequited love. As with Jack Kerouac's On The Road, the theme of 'the journey' is strongly emphasised throughout, as the lead character descends deeper into madness as he and his step-daughter travel around America. A cult classic and must-read, Lolita is the work of genius.
