From the publisher (source: The Internet Book List): Immediately hailed as one of Nabokov's great masterpieces, Ada, his fifteenth novel, was published two weeks after author's seventieth birthday. Fairy tale, epic, philosophical treatise on the nature of time, parody of the history of the novel, love story, erotic catalogue... Ada is all of these and more, no less than a supreme work of the imagination, a massive summing-up of one of the more complex and ironic minds of modern literature.
