Is he in love or insane? A tortured soul or a monster? Humbert Humbert's seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures. Filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962 starring James Mason and Peter Sellers, and again in 1997 by Adrian Lyne starring Jeremy Irons and Melanie Griffith, Lolita has lost none of its power to shock and awe.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 204mmItem Length: 138mmItem Width: 32mmItem Weight: 452gAuthor: Vladimir NabokovGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionBook Series: Penguin Clothbound ClassicsRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
