recently brought the pic related version "penguin classics" of lolita but i suspect it has been censored, would anyone be able to confirm or recomend me a version that is not
>>
google it fag

>>8806065
What makes you think it was censored? Did you buy it expecting graphic depictions of sex with a minor?
>>
>>8806084
from reviews it seemed to be a little more controversal, but this version seems rather tame, so yes is that answer to that
>>
i just want the uncensored/ edited version please

As >>8806084 said
>Did you buy it expecting graphic depictions of sex with a minor?

I highly doubt you have an edited version.
>>
google it fag
>>
>>8806139
i feel like it might even be edited to tie in to the jerermy irons film since isnt that her on the front cover

Historical context is inportant to keep in mind. People were more easily shocked by that shit back then.
One of the many techniques Nabokov uses to keep Humbert from being a complete monster is that he tends to obfuscate the more reprehensible actions with the prose.

Read 120 days of sodom for your child rape fantasy needs.

>>8806139

> buying penguin

well, there's your problem.
>>
>>8806591
Pseud who doesn't know anything about publishing or about penguin.
>>
>>8806065
No, the Penguin version is unedited/uncensored. In fact, all versions of Lolita that you're likely to find in a Western store are uncensored.
>>
>>8806664
What should I know about Penguin?
>>
>>8807259
Not that guy but I know they publish the most de-nationalist version of Jungers Storm of Steel, which is a shame because its the only plentiful version
>>
>>8806065

That's a horrible looking edition, I hope it isn't the one you got. 50th anniversary edition is best Imo.their cover for Ado or Ardor is pretty nice though.
>>
>>8807259
If you are reading a book written in English just look at the book. Do you like the binding, the paper, the cover or introduction? If so then buy it. If not buy something else. The only time you need to be careful with them is when buying translations. They are pretty hit and miss with them. Sometimes they take an older, not so good translation because it is cheap and other times they commission someone to make a new, good translation.
