A not-so-frequently encountered paperback edition of Vladimir Nabokov's novel "Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" from 1970, in good condition. This edition of Vladimir Nabokov’s novel Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle, published by Penguin Books in 1970, is notable for its distinctive cover design. The cover artwork was based on a drawing of a Cattleya orchid personally submitted by Nabokov to the publisher in 1969. This elegant floral motif reflects Nabokov’s lifelong fascination with butterflies, flowers, and the intricate beauty of nature, and it became an iconic visual element associated with this first paperback edition.
