Lolita

Description

By: Vladimir Nabokov
Edited and prefaced, introduction, and notes by Alfred Appel, Jr.

“As with Joyce and Melville, the reader of Lolita attempts to arrive at some sense of its overall ‘meaning,’ while at the same time having to struggle, often page by page, with the difficulties posed by the recondite materials and rich, elaborate verbal textures. The main purpose of this edition is to solve such local problems and to show how they contribute to the total design of the novel.”
