Lolita -
Vladimir Nabokov
1955 - Olympia Press, Paris - First Edition First Issue
‘Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul... Lo. Lee. Ta... She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita.’
A superb set of Nabokov’s masterpiece, his notorious tale of Humbert Humbert’s obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet, Dolores Haze, banned in the UK and US until 1958.
‘This is still one of the funniest and one of the saddest books that will be published this year. As for its pornographic content, I can think of few volumes more likely to quench the flames of lust than this exact and immediate description of its consequences’ – The New York Times 1958
