Published on his seventieth birthday, 'Ada or Ardor' is considered Vladimir Nabokov's masterpiece. This novel is a family chronicle, an incestuous love story, and a philosophical treatise on the nature of time. It is also a parody of the novelistic genre, an erotic novel, a song to pleasure, and a vindication of Paradise on Earth. The central plot follows the encounters and disagreements between Van Veen and Ada, two siblings who fall in love in their adolescence on the family estate of Ardis. Years later, with Van about to turn ninety-seven, both remember their love with nostalgia, convinced that happiness is within the reach of those who retain the art of memory.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov, also known by the pen name Vladimir Sirin, was a Russian and American novelist, poet, translator, and entomologist.
