“And yet I adore him. I think he's quite crazy, and with no place or occupation in life, and far from happy, and philosophically irresponsible – and there is absolutely nobody like him": First Taiwanese Edition of Vladmir Nabokov's Ada
First Taiwanese edition of what many consider to be Nabokov's masterpiece. Octavo, original publisher's cloth. Very good in a good dust jacket. Author photograph by Halsman.
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. Scholar Alfred Appel writing in The New York Times Book Review called it "a great work of art, a necessary book, radiant and rapturous" and said that it "provides further evidence that he is a peer of Kafka, Proust and Joyce."
