{"product_id":"the-annotated-lolita-revised-and-updated","title":"The Annotated Lolita: Revised and Updated","description":"Nabokov's wise, ironic, and elegant masterpiece. • A controversial love story almost shocking in its beauty and tenderness. • This annotated edition assiduously illuminates the extravagant wordplay and the frequent literary allusions, parodies, and cross-references. • Edited with a preface, introduction, and notes by Alfred Appel, Jr.\n\n\"Fascinatingly detailed.\" -Edmund Morris, The New York Times Book Review\n\nWhen it was published in 1955, Lolita immediately became a cause célèbre because of the freedom and sophistication with which it handled the unusual erotic predilections of its protagonist. Awe and exhilaration–along with heartbreak and mordant wit–abound in this account of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze.\n\nLolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America, but most of all, it is a meditation on love–love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679727299\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0679727299.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Nabokov, Vladimir|Appel Jr., Alfred\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
