Features: This book is one of the 100 most influential literary masterpieces in the world. It was first published by Putnam Publishers in the United States and climbed the New York Times bestseller list. It pioneered a new ethical perspective on modern gender literature. A novel that has been adapted multiple times and a film with three versions—truly astonishing!!—The film and the novel are equally brilliant! Vladimir Nabokov, one of the great prose masters of the 20th century, was born in St. Petersburg in 1899. In 1940, he moved to the United States and became a renowned novelist, poet, critic, and translator. His representative works, Lolita and Pale Fire, have entered the ranks of modern classics and are hailed as one of the greatest artistic works of the 20th century. This book will greatly influence readers' views on family education, ethics, and morality; because in this moving personal study, there lies a universal doctrine; the willful child, the selfish mother, the gasping madman—these are not just a few vivid characters in a unique novel: they remind us of dangerous tendencies; they point out potential evils. This book should make all of us—parents, social workers, educators—more vigilant and ambitious, contributing to raising a more outstanding generation in a safer world.
