At the same time as family chronicle and love story, it is a philosophical treatise on the nature of time, a parodic history of the novelesque genre, an erotic novel, a song to pleasure and a vindication of Paradise understood as something that should not be sought in the afterlife, but here on earth.
« Ada or Ardor is the heyday of Nabokov's work... One of the most beautiful and imaginative visions of loving passion that modern literature has ever given." (Laurie Clancy, The Novels of V. N.)
Van Veen and Ada, a brother and a sister who believe themselves to be cousins, fall in love and embark on a sexual relationship. On the 97th birthday of Van Veen, they contemplate the various stages of their long love affair. This is the apogee of Nabokov's long and brilliant career. / Publicada por Nabokov al cumplir sus setenta años, éste supone el felicísimo apogeo de su larga y brillante carrera literaria. Al mismo tiempo que crónica familiar e historia de amor (incestuoso), es un tratado filosófico sobre la naturaleza del tiempo, una paródica historia del género novelesco, una novela erótica, un canto al placer y una reivindicación del Paraíso entendido como algo que no hay que buscar en el más allá, sino en la Tierra. En esta obra, bellísima y compleja, destaca por encima de todo la historia de los encuentros y desencuentros entre los principales protagonistas, Van Veen y Ada, los dos hermanos que, creyéndose sólo primos, se enamoraron pasionalmente con motivo de su encuentro adolescente en la finca familiar de Ardis, y que ahora, con motivo del noventa y siete cumpleaños de Van, inmersos en la más placentera nostalgia, contemplan los distintos avatares de su amor convencidos de que la felicidad y el éxtasis más ardoroso están al alcance de la mano de todo aquel que conserve el arte de la memoria.
