Описание и характеристики
Ada or Ardor is a romance that follows Ada from her first childhood meeting with Van Veen on his uncle's country estate, in a 'dream-bright' America, through eighty years of rapture, as they cross continents, are continually parted and reunited, come to learn the strange truth about their singular relationship and, decades later, put their extraordinary experiences into words.
Written in mischievous and magically flowing prose, Nabokov's longest, richest novel is a love story, but also a fairy tale, a historical parody, an erotic satire, an exploration of the passing of time and a supreme work of the imagination.

Очень приятно было купить эту книгу в оригинале, особенно потому что ее нигде не найти ни на русском ни на английском.
В начале даже есть семейное дерево, чтобы легче было ориентироваться среди персонажей.
Пожалуй единственное, что может показаться минусом для некоторых, это мягкая обложка.
