Vladimir Nabokov Lolita. Paris: The Olympia Press, 1955 FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE with price of 900 francs, 8vo, 2 vols, publisher's green printed wrappers, bespoke grey morocco and marbled clamshell box, some wear to head and foot of spines, extremities rubbed, repaired chip to upper cover of vol 1, closed tear to rear cover of volume 2 The FIRST EDITION of this acclaimed and infamous novel, which was published in France following its rejection by Viking, Simon & Schuster, New Directions, Farrar, Straus and Doubleday. Olympia Press, headed by Maurice Girodias, agreed to publish the book with an initial print run of 5,000 copies. It divided opinion, with Grahame Greene calling it one of the three best books of 1955, while John Gordon of the Sunday Express called it "the filthiest book I have ever read." Shortly after, British Customs officers were instructed to sieze all copies in the United Kingdom, and it was banned in France for two years. It was eventually published in the UK in 1959 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

Graham Greene Correspondence with Tadeusz Murek comprising five autograph letters signed by Greene, 61 letters signed by Greene, 20 letters with secretarial signatures, and two telegrams sent by Greene, discussing Murek's translations of Greene, providing information on his books and publishing activities ("...[Loser Take All] is quite a departure for me as it is a very light comedy with a happy ending! I hope however to finish a serious novel THE QUIET AMERICAN with an Indo-China setting by the autumn...", 21 April 1955), discussing the appearance of his works in Poland and the USSR, making arrangements for Greene's 1955 trip to Poland, the censorship of his subsequent articles about the visit ("...I think it is unlikely that your newspapers stopped translating the notes forom the Sunday Times because I attacked the Roman Curia [...] I am afraid that my attitude to Pax was the trouble..." 16 February 1956), later letters written when Murek was in the West including more open political discussions ("...You seem to think that I am unsympathetic as regards the position in Poland which isn't true at all. I don't believe in the whiteness of the Soviet Union!..." 22 May 1983), agreeing to interviews (but not a book-length work) and responding to questions ("...as one of a family of six children I had a very happy childhood up to the time that I went to boarding-school. There I was very unhappy and as a result went to a psychoanalist [sic]..." 18 March 1988) as well as personal affairs including the death of Murek's first wife ("...She has gone to the only free world which exists...", 4 July [1980]), his travels and health, planned meetings with Murek, and occasionally helping him with visas ("...I am afraid that I am the last person to help you as far as the Americans are concerned. They regard me with the utmost suspicion!...", 9 October 1978), altogether c.90 pages, 4to and 8vo, various locations including London and Antibes, 26 June 1951 to 11 October 1990, with 77 envelopes [together with:] retained copies of 29 lettters by Murek to Greene, loosely inserted in revelant envelopes A SUBSTANTIAL CORRESPONDENCE WITH GREENE'S POLISH TRANSLATOR. Tadeusz Murek (1919-1996) was a Pole whose forty-year correspondence and friendship with Graham Greene began when he wrote to the author to enquire about children's books for an article in the Polish Catholic press. Murek was later to write that he began translating Greene in 1948, but his correspondence with the author began three years later. Their professional professional relationship gradually developed into a friendship in the years that followed. Murek organised Greene’s visit to Poland in November 1955, published several articles about Greene's books in the Polish Catholic press, and published several interviews with Greene in Polish and Swiss magazines He also translated some of Greene’s works into Polish: The Living Room was staged in 1956, The Revolver in the Corner Cupboard was published in 1959 and J'Accuse in 1982. Although he lived in the Communist bloc, Murek had an unusual level of freedom to travel to the West through his work in the accounting and financial planning departments of various state-owned enterprises. He eventually become Manager of the Import Department of Polish Foreign trade Company "Centrozap", and in retirement lived in Switzerland (where he studied French literature), and later Germany. He was therefore able to meet Greene on many occasions in the UK and Europe, and Greene was best man at Murek's second marriage, which took place in Switzerland in December 1982. It is possible that there was a shadow side to the relationship between Greene and Murek connected with the world of espionage: certainly, Greene's 1955 trip to Warsaw was funded by MI6. Murek's letters from the 1950s frequently express his frustrations at the political system in his homeland: he writes enthusiastically of the changes brought about by the Polish October of 1956, and his later letters written from the West make clear his loathing of the Soviet sytem.

Nabokov, Vladimir Lolita. Paris: The Olympia Press, 1955 2 vols., 8vo (178 x 112 mm). Original printed green wrappers, priced 900 francs on rear wrappers, each amended 1800 in blue pen; lightly worn and rubbed. Housed in a green slipcase with folding cloth chemise. First edition, an exceptional association copy inscribed to Graham Greene: "For Graham Greene | November 1959 | From Vladimir Nabokov." Additionally embellished with one of Nabokov's butterfly drawings, delicately rendered in blue and green, and titled by Nabokov: "green swallowtail dancing waisthigh." Lolita was far from a literary sensation when it was first published in 1955. Following a grueling five-year period of writing, Nabokov’s manuscript was rejected by at least five major American publishing houses before landing with Maurice Girodias at the Olympia Press in Paris. Girodias, who was somewhat notorious as a publisher of sexually explicit English-language material, agreed to publish the book with an initial print run of 5,000 copies. Upon its publication, Lolita received no significant reviews, and initially sold poorly. Nabokov’s controversial masterpiece went substantially unnoticed until Graham Greene named it one of the three best books of the year in the London Sunday Times, setting off a public controversy that would challenge mores around censorship, and greatly enhance Nabokov’s literary standing. Greene’s endorsement prompted a vehement rebuttal by the editor-in-chief of the Sunday Express, John Gordon, who responded by calling Lolita: “Without doubt it is the filthiest book I have ever read. Sheer unrestrained pornography… Anyone who published it or sold it here would certainly go to jail” (Sunday Express, 29 January 1956). Greene responded with a tongue-in-cheek notice in the Spectator that he would be establishing the John Gordon Society, “In recognition of the struggle he has maintained for so many years against the insidious menace of pornography, in defence of our hearts and homes and the purity of public life… The main object of the Society will be … to examine and if necessary to condemn all offensive books, plays, films, strip cartoons, musical compositions, paintings, sculptures, and ceramics” (Spectator, 10 February 1956). Participants in the first meeting of the John Gordon Society included Christopher Isherwood, Angus Wilson, A.J. Ayer, Peter Brook, and some of the best editors in London. As the fracas played out publicly over the ensuing months—Greene even invited Gordon to speak at the second meeting of his joke organization—the novel’s notoriety was growing, and international publishers began to take notice as more and more copies were finding their way into England and the United States. Nabokov wrote to Graham Greene at the close of 1956 to both thank him for his support, and unburden himself of some of his frustrations: “From various friends I keep receiving heart-warming reports on your kindness to my books … My poor Lolita is having a rough time. The pity is that if I had made her a boy, or a cow, or a bicycle, Philistines might never have flinched. On the other hand, Olympia Press informs me that amateurs (amateurs!) are disappointed with the tame turn my story takes in the second volume, and do not buy it” (Bruccoli, pp. 197-198). The Olympia Press edition was followed by the first American edition, published by G.P. Putnam & Sons, on 18 August 1958 (see the following lot for an exceptional example inscribed to Véra Nabokov), but the British adaptation would prove thornier because of obscenity laws. Greene advocated for The Bodley Head—and was prepared to sign the contract on their behalf, thus making himself a direct target if the publication resulted in prosecution—but to Greene’s great disappointment the contract went to Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Lolita was finally published in England in November 1959 after the passage of a more liberal obscenity bill, which insisted that a work should be judged as a whole, and on its literary merits, not merely on the basis of potentially objectionable passages read out of context. The censorship campaign acted as a powerful publicity tool, and Lolita became a run-away bestseller in both countries. The first edition of Nabokov’s masterpiece, inscribed on the occasion of the publication of the British edition, to the man who was willing to go to jail for Lolita.

London: Jarrold and Sons, 1950 SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR, WITH PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION FROM ILLUSTRATOR DOROTHY CRAIGIE ("To Graham who wrote it. Nov. 18 '50. Dorothy Craigie"), oblong 8vo (175 x 275mm.), original pictorial boards, original dust-wrapper, dust-wrapper slightly torn at extremities with chip to upper panel Between the publication of The Little Train and its sequel, Graham Greene had begun a passionate affair with Catherine Walston, and, perhaps more crucially, he had also resigned as director of fiction for Eyre and Spottiswoode after repeatedly falling out with his fellow director Douglas Jerrold. Although Eyre and Spottiswoode had already committed to publishing The Little Fire Engine, and had commissioned Jarrold & Sons of Norwich to prepare for production, it was Max Parrish who eventually published the book. For this little known publisher, the addition of Graham Greene to his list was a great triumph, particularly since Greene was now happy to announce his authorship not just of this title but of The Little Train as well.
