Vladimir Nabokov
Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, ,Ada, or Ardor, is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist.Â Â It tells a love story troubled by incest.Â But more: it is also at once a fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, and erotic catalogue. ,Ada, or Ardor, is no less than the superb work of an imagination at white heat.,This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniouslyÂ sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.
