About this Item
"You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, exhibit number one is what the seraphs, the misinformed, simple, noble-winged seraphs, envied. Look at this tangle of thorns."-- Vladimir Nabokov in Lolita. Nabokov's celebrated and controversial novel is "a deeply uneasy read, but it is a beautifully written and pervasive critique of a predatory, manipulative man"--Laura Waddell. This first edition was published by R. V. Pandit, Bombay, in 1955 and is a rare first Indian edition of Nabokov's controversial novel Lolita, with text in English. Octavo, original cloth. In fair condition. Some staining on spine cover (see image), and cover mildly edge worn. Binding remains tight. The pages are mildly tanned but clean with no markings; there is some foxing on the preliminary and final pages. Please note that depending on destination we may request an additional payment to cover any extra shipping/postage charges. Abe2140 Please note: there are depictions of child sexual assault and rape in this novel. Seller Inventory # ABE-1633533444328
