This 1974 edition presents Vladimir Nabokov’s own screenplay adaptation of his seminal novel, Lolita. Originally written for Stanley Kubrick’s 1962 film, the text reveals the author's distinct cinematic vision and his struggle to translate his complex prose into the visual language of the screen. The volume serves as a critical document for understanding the creative tensions between literary authorship and the demands of mid-century film production.
