Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the greatest modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions.

"It was Nabokov's gift to bring paradise wherever he alighted." -John Updike, The New York Review of Books

Novelist, poet, critic, translator, and, above all, a peerless imaginer, Vladimir Nabokov was arguably the most dazzling prose stylist of the twentieth century. In novels like Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, or Ardor, he turned language into an instrument of ecstasy.

Vintage Nabokov includes sections 1-10 of his most famous and controversial novel, Lolita; the stories "The Return of Chorb," "The Aurelian," "A Forgotten Poet," "Time and Ebb," "Signs and Symbols," "The Vane Sisters," and "Lance"; and chapter 12 from his memoir Speak, Memory.

A lot has changed in Martin Amis' world. Many of his heroes are dead. Many of his favourite pursuits are dead - or worse, gone respectable and lost all colour and charm. This collection of pieces from over the years tells of how it used to be. From the perfect dart throw to soccer in China with Elton John to profiles of Graham Greene and Vera Nabokov, Visiting Mrs. Nabakov and other Excursions uses its author's listful perspective to juice up the world with keen observation and phenomenal insight. Amis adds to reality an element of mystery, not to mention his magic literary touch that renders all of its subjects intriguing.
