Описание:Rejected by every major publisher to which the author submitted it, first published in France in 1955 by a press known for pornographic trash, Vladimir Nabokov's scandalous novel of a middle-aged college professor obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl continues to feed controversy as well as to challenge and delight readers with its labyrinthian narrative, endless wordplay, innumerable meta-artistic allusions, and troublesome eroticism. Thus warned, you are invited to join the jury in deliberating the designs and delights of this twentieth-century literary classic.
