Lolita (Twentieth Century Classics S.) - Tapa blanda

The novel which first established Nabokov's reputation with a large audience is a tour-de-force of comic satire on sex and the American way of life. It focuses on the love of a middle-aged European for an American nymphet.

Vladimir Nabokov was born in 1899 in St Petersburg. He wrote his first literary works in Russian, but rose to international prominence as a masterly prose stylist for the novels he composed in English, most famously, Lolita. Between 1923 and 1940 he published novels, short stories, plays, poems and translations in the Russian language and established himself as one of the most outstanding Russian émigré writers. He died in 1977.
