Synopsis "The Annotated Lolita: Annotated Edition (Penguin Modern Classics) (in English)"

They are memorials to times and countries whose best is probably past and gone . . . I was lucky to have known them when I did before darkness began to fall from the air.When Laurie Lee first left his country village aged nineteen he discovered a delight in the outside world that remained undiminished throughout his writing life. This enchanting collection of his first loves and obsessions brings together pieces including recollections of his Gloucestershire childhood celebrated in Cider With Rosie; reflections on life love and death such as a moving report from the tragic Welsh village of Aberfan; and evocative travel writings on Tuscany Mexico and the West Indies amongst others before they were transformed by mass tourism. Together they capture a world that is lost forever.

Vladimir Nabokov nació en San Petersburgo en el seno de una familia de la aristocracia en 1899, pero su trayectoria familiar primero, y luego sus inquietudes personales, lo llevaron a Alemania, Inglaterra, Francia y Estados Unidos, donde inició una brillante carrera como poeta, novelista, crítico y traductor, a la vez que enseñaba Literatura en varias universidades de prestigio. Sus novelas Mary (1926), Rey, dama, valet (1928), La defensa (1930), Gloria (1932), Risa en la oscuridad (1933), Desesperación y La dádiva (ambas de 1934), Invitado a una decapitación (1938), El ojo (1937), El hechicero (1939), La verdadera vida de Sebastián Knight (1941) y Ultima Thule (1942) precedieron el éxito monumental de Lolita (1955) que le permitió abandonar la enseñanza y consagrarse por entero a su vocación de escritor. Después llegaron Pnin (1957), Pálido fuego (1962), Ada o el ardor (1969), Cosas transparentes (1972), ¡Mira los arlequines! (1974). Entre sus obras de no ficción cabe destacar su autobiografía Habla, memoria (1951) y ensayos literarios como Nikolai Gögol (1944) o sus cursos de literatura europea, sobre el Quijote o sobre la literatura rusa. En 1961 se trasladó a Suiza, donde murió en 1977. En 2009, su hijo Dmitri accedió a la publicación de su novela inacabada, El original de Laura.
