Synopsis

Lolita is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th Century. The cultural influence of Lolita cannot be understated, and numerous editions have been printed since 1955. The book has been made into movies, plays, and has sparked countless conversations about relationships and the nature of obsession. Even the covers of the later editions have sparked controversy, as they feature potentially suggestive depictions of the famous "nymphet". Unsurprisingly, Lolita is often at the top of banned books lists in high schools.

Reviews

On Aug 26 2014, a reader said:
Vladimir Nabokov's postmodern masterpiece about a man's obsession with a young girl is nothing short of remarkable. Not only does Nabokov situate the story within the context of Cold War America, but he has the ability to make the reader sympathise with an otherwise immoral character. Through Nabokov's lyrical, poetic and deceptive writing, the story becomes at once comical and poignant. Underneath all the amusing and colourful metaphors and allusions to American popular culture is a deeply affecting story about obsession, innocence and unrequited love. As with Jack Kerouac's On The Road, the theme of 'the journey' is strongly emphasised throughout, as the lead character descends deeper into madness as he and his step-daughter travel around America. A cult classic and must-read, Lolita is the work of genius.

About Librería y Editorial Renacimiento

En 1974 fundó Abelardo Linares, en el Barrio de Santa Cruz de Sevilla, la librería de libros viejos y antiguos Renacimiento, especializada desde un principio en literatura española e hispanoamericana y en primeras ediciones de las generaciones del 98 y del 27.

El fondo se incrementó notablemente con la compra, en 1995, de la librería neoyorquina de Eliseo Torres, de más de un millón de volúmenes (literatura española e hispanoamericana, crítica literaria, exilio español, historia, arte, Galicia, etc.). Tras esta compra, aunque se mantiene la tienda sevillana en Mateos Gago, 27, el almacén de la librería se traslada a una nave industrial de las afueras.
