Nabokov’s controversial novel was rejected by American publishers, but was finally accepted by the avant-garde Olympia Press in Paris and published in this two-volume edition. The novel was first brought to a wider English public by Graham Greene, who selected it as one of his books of the year in an article in the Sunday Times newspaper. In 1956, John Gordon, editor of the Sunday Express, responded by calling it “the filthiest book I have ever read. Sheer unrestrained pornography,” thus ensuring its enduring notoriety and a ban in America and Britain until 1958.
Set of 2 first edition volumes with a custom solander box housing the 2-book set. (15 x 25 cm).
Binding: Original untouched green softback binding with custom-made solander box with leather spine and raised bands.
Condition: Minor sporadic chip along the outer cover of both books, but clean pages and intact binding. An excellent copy.
