NABOKOV, Vladimir. Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle. London: Weidnefeld and Nicolson. 1969. Thick 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s red clot lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket. A near fine copy. The boards clean and bright, corners and tips gently bumped. The binding tight and square, the textblock with a few light marks and spots. The contents largely fine, the first twenty or so pages faintly creased. The dust jacket unclipped, slight fading to spine and front panel, and gently crimped.
A pleasing copy of the author’s longest novel, about the confusing—both literarily and ethically—character of Van Veen and his lifelong love affair with his sister, Ada.
