Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle

Ada, or Ardor: A Family Chronicle

Published two weeks after his seventieth birthday, Ada, or Ardor is one of Nabokov's greatest masterpieces, the glorious culmination of his career as a novelist.Â Â It tells a love story troubled by incest.Â Â But more: 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.Â Â 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 ingeniouslyÂ Â sardonic appendix by the author, written under the anagrammatic pseudonym Vivian Darkbloom.
