ISBN: 0679772553 ISBN-13: 9780679772552 Publisher: Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group OUR PRICE: $16.15 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: August 1997 Annotation: As it charts the hypnotized progress of Humbert Humbert, a hypercivilized and amoral European emigre, into the orbit of a treacherously lovely and utterly unimpressionable preteen, Lolita: A Screenplay gleefully demolishes a host of stereotypes - sexual, moral, and aesthetic. Not least among the casualties is the notion that cinema and literature are two separate spheres. For in his screenplay, Nabokov married the structural and narrative felicities of great cinema to prose as sensuously entrancing as any he had ever written, resulting in a work that will delight cineasts and Nabokovians alike. |
