Strazio e incanto, insieme a scintillante ironia, abbondano in Lolita, il romanzo più celebre di Nabokov che racconta la storia dell'ossessiva e fatale passione del professor Humbert Humbert per la "ninfetta" Dolores Haze. Motel dopo motel, la vicenda si snoda lungo le strade americane nella forma di una confessione onesta e disperata. Meraviglioso romanzo, ha ispirato l'omonimo film di Stanley Kubrick.

La primera edicion de "Lolita" apareció en París en 1955, publicada por Olympia Press, una editorial con acreditada gama de pornográfica. La novela fue prohibida en Francia y en Inglaterra, y hasta tres años más tarde no pudo publicarse en Estados Unidos. Aunque enseguida fue muy alabada por escritores como Lionel Trilling y Graham Greene, los adjetivos de "escandalosa", "inmoral", "decadente" y "ultrajante" acompañaron largo tiempo a "Lolita", actualmente ya considerada como una obra maestra indiscutible de la literatura universal.

Published two weeks after Vladimir Nabokov’s seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of his greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist. It tells a love story troubled by incest, but 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 supreme work of an imagination at white heat. This is the first American edition to include the extensive and ingeniously sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.

Aquí se dan cita nueve autores nacidos entre 1976 y 1981 a sendas orillas del Atlántico. Son cinco magníficas escritoras, cuatro magníficos narradores. Voces maduras, quizá de floración tardía. Son nuestros nueve viejísimos cuentistas. Hace dieciocho años, cuando nació Reservoir Books, tenían alrededor de dieciocho. Y sobre eso escriben precisamente. Son miradas nostálgicas, agridulces, satíricas, elegíacas... realizadas desde el ecuador de la segunda edad, cuando se acerca la cuarentena, quizá bajo amenaza de próximos cambios vitales.

In his mountain-man days, Elwood “Firestick” McQueen was practically a living legend. His hunting, tracking, and trapping skills were known far and wide. But it was his deadly accuracy with a rifle that earned him the Indian name “Firestick.” His two best buddies are Malachi “Beartooth” Skinner—whose knife was as fatal as a grizzly’s chompers—and Jim “Moosejaw” Hendricks, who once wielded the jawbone of a moose to crush his enemies in the heat of battle. Of course, things are different nowadays.

The stories say the director of Heidecker labs is brutal and unforgiving, burning local villages to the ground and infecting them with disease. Forget the stories. Ryan knows only one truth. He must get Krysty back.

Most of bounty hunter Lou Prophet’s man-hunting jobs have been purely business transactions that he’s carried out with cool professionalism.

It’ll be days before anyone can organize a posse - and a small girl has been kidnapped by the cold-blooded outlaws. Prophet will have to go it alone.
