Is (a) the consensus?
Which is the best Lolita cover?
Other urls found in this thread:
Bottom left or bottom mid I can't decide
(a) and (d) are probably the best of these 6
there are better ones?
Top left, as its not implicitly judgemental on ephebosexuals like the others
My copy has cover a, so maybe that's prejudiced me, but I like a best
F>A>D>E>B>C
d
(a) because you can rub your cock on it and imagine it's actually a girl's lips
This guy gets it
Posts like these make me worry about buying books secondhand

You forgot the best one
That is the best one, but you can’t actually buy it anywhere I don’t think. It was just a for-fun cover design contest iirc.
Legitimately the best one
1. 2. (f)
3. (a)

Lolita was 12 mate, it's pedophilia. Also being an ephebophile in 21st century western society means youre either under ~22 or are broken in some way that you're basically a pedo. I understand that some girls within the defined age range (15-19) look like sexually mature adult women, but if you feel the need to identify young girls specifically then it's not their sexual maturity you're attracted to.
no this
Should i be worried if i got a boner while reading this book?

Absolute state of soyboys.
Nice try pal but I eat my onions and am exclusively attracted to adults
You missed the Balthus one

What the fuck is wrong with her foot?
it's modern art bro perspective is like, imperialist and shit, dog
Maybe she's chinese
Is the plastic wrapper on the lolly on (f) anachronistic?
Yeah.
...
Oh fug, this.
I also spotted a Spanish translation of Lolita in a Goodwill once that had a lovely cover.
Almost bought it, but saw the language and had to put it back. Some lady ended up buying it. I wonder if she knew it was in Spanis? I wonder if she cared?
You're right to be worried.
Not as long as you feel guilty about it.
Name 10 artists from the 20th century and I'll let you pretend to know what you're talking about.
>ACKSHULLY the correct term is ephebosexual
>don't judge me
Nabokov wrote Lolita to show the reader that the way it was written would make them sympathize with a pedophile.
I wonder if pseuds like you even held a copy of Lolita, because you sure as shit didn't read it.
Nobokov wanted that young cooch user, sorry to break it to you but the rest is bullshit just to get away with writing about it
this
My hero desu
Damn.

This, and D
Shit book though
How Islamophobic.
For me it’s (e)
This one is great
youtube.com
I also like the one with the scrunchie and with the crushed lolipop
Was this ever published though? Otherwise it’s
>with the crushed lolipop
best one imo.
I want a personalized lolita cover, should I just print out some loli porn and tape it to the cover?
Out of those, I'd say F. But I like pic related the most. Shame someone threw away my book jacket, but I still like the plain cover that just says Lolita on it too.
ofc yes

Good, simple, themed design. (Biased because I have it)
>b
Looks like YA shit that sits on airport shelves
>c
Looks like discount shit printed on cheap paper
>d
Nice, sadly it's in spanish
>e
The stamp makes it look like discount shit too
>f
Again, sort of YA looking though not as bad, looks a bit too modern for what it really is.
All of Modernista’s Nabokov covers are gorgeous.

The most crucial part of the story is Humbert Humbert's commentary. The diary he kept should be represented, the red has a dualistic symbolism as both love/blood, and it looks neat as the o in the title.
F) is the patrician choice.
this one is really underrated
What's this book about?
Evil little jeezebel seduces and entraps innocent man. Hilarity ensues.
I've got this one. Never seen it posted here before.
>Book of the highest quality materials

What did they mean by this?
>old pervy man fondling not yet fully blossomed flower
It’s perfect
Those sepia Everyman's are really ugly

I can't not make this joke. Wait a sec...

47 has the best cover.
If you live in some prude country that spies on its citizens, don't go deeper without a plausible deniability scheme and a traceless livecd system inside a DMZ.

Lol no

As a side note, the poster for the movie is also great

What?
The Spanish translation is bad
C because it's hilarious.
I just got banned from reddit. Great thread.
aren't all of anagrama's books in spanish?
just make a new account, then go back you absolute faggot
This is unironically the worst one.
F since it draws directly from the novel and doesn't assert any preconceptions
The Annotated Lolita is really the only edition you should read. It includes Nabokov's revisions which makes a huge difference.
This is the one I have, kinda meh.
Same.
Shame it doesn't also include the Russian translations additions to the afterword. Anyone know a book that includes this in English?
