1948. De 11-jarige Sally wordt ontvoerd door Frank La Salle. Gedurende twee jaar doorkruist hij het hele land met haar om uit handen van de FBI te blijven. Ze wordt misbruikt en gedwongen te liegen. ‘De verdwijning van Sally Horner’ (Rust and Stardust) van de Amerikaanse auteur T. Greenwood is een spannende roman over een zaak die Amerika jarenlang in de greep hield. New Jersey, 1948. De 11-jarige Sally Horner steelt een schriftje in de plaatselijke supermarkt. Ze wordt erop aangesproken door de 52-jarige Frank La Salle die zich voordoet als fbi-agent. Hij overtuigt haar ervan dat ze gearresteerd zal worden, tenzij ze doet wat hij zegt. Dit is het begin van een ontvoering die ruim twee jaar zal duren en waarin Frank met Sally het hele land doorkruist om uit handen van de politie te blijven. Sally wordt misbruikt en gedwongen te liegen tegen de mensen die ze op hun weg tegenkomen. De vermissing van Sally Horner domineerde eind jaren 40 het nieuws in Amerika. Dit is haar verhaal. ‘De zaak Sally Horner’ inspireerde Nabokov tot het schrijven van zijn iconische en controversiële roman ‘Lolita’. T. Greenwood woont met haar gezin in Californië. ‘De verdwijning van Sally Horner’ is het eerste boek van haar hand dat in het Nederlands verschijnt. Ze heeft het ware verhaal van Sally Horner gefictionaliseerd en vertelt het vanuit meerdere perspectieven, wat het boek veel vaart en diepgang geeft.

“The Real Lolita is a tour de force of literary detective work. Not only does it shed new light on the terrifying true saga that influenced Nabokov’s masterpiece, it restores the forgotten victim to our consciousness.” —David Grann, author of Killers of the Flower Moon Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is one of the most beloved and notorious novels of all time. And yet, very few of its readers know that the subject of the novel was inspired by a real-life case: the 1948 abduction of eleven-year-old Sally Horner. Weaving together suspenseful crime narrative, cultural and social history, and literary investigation, The Real Lolita tells Sally Horner’s full story for the very first time. Drawing upon extensive investigations, legal documents, public records, and interviews with remaining relatives, Sarah Weinman uncovers how much Nabokov knew of the Sally Horner case and the efforts he took to disguise that knowledge during the process of writing and publishing Lolita. Sally Horner’s story echoes the stories of countless girls and women who never had the chance to speak for themselves. By diving deeper in the publication history of Lolita and restoring Sally to her rightful place in the lore of the novel’s creation, The Real Lolita casts a new light on the dark inspiration for a modern classic.

Humbert Humbert - scholar, aesthete and romantic - has fallen completely and utterly in love with Dolores Haze, his landlady's gum-snapping, silky skinned twelve-year-old daughter. Reluctantly agreeing to marry Mrs Haze just to be close to Lolita, Humbert suffers greatly in the pursuit of romance; but when Lo herself starts looking for attention elsewhere, he will carry her off on a desperate cross-country misadventure, all in the name of Love. Hilarious, flamboyant, heart-breaking and full of ingenious word play, Lolita is an immaculate, unforgettable masterpiece of obsession, delusion and lust. The novel chronicles Humbert's obsession with Lolita and his manipulative and ultimately abusive relationship with her as they travel across the United States. Nabokov's writing in "Lolita" is characterized by its lyrical prose, intricate wordplay, and dark humor, which serves to both captivate and unsettle the reader. Despite its disturbing subject matter, "Lolita" is celebrated for its literary brilliance and has been praised for its exploration of themes such as desire, obsession, and the corruption of innocence. Nabokov challenges readers to confront their own moral judgments and perceptions of love and sexuality through Humbert's unreliable narration. "Lolita" has sparked intense debate and controversy since its publication due to its portrayal of taboo subjects, including pedophilia. However, it's also widely regarded as a masterpiece of literature and continues to be studied and analyzed for its complex narrative structure and psychological depth.

The precursor to Nabokov's classic novel, Lolita. • A middle-aged man weds an unattractive widow in order to indulge his obsession with her daughter. • "A gem to be appreciated by any admirer of the most graceful and provocative literary craftsman." —Chicago Tribune The unnamed protagonist of the story is, outwardly, a respectable and comfortable man; inside, he churns at the pubescent femininity of certain girls. Rare girls – one in a thousand – whose coltish grace and subconscious flirtatiousness betray, to his obsessed mind, a very special bud on the moist verge of its bloom. Sitting on a park bench one day, he is tantalized by the fleeting form of just such a girl roller-skating on a gravel path. His desire to be near this beauty burns in him and drives him to begin a courtship of the child’s pitiful mother – a course that can end only in the disintegration of his life. Over the years, the idea of The Enchanter grew; it changed; it developed “claws and wings.” By 1953 it was ready to furnish the basic theme of Lolita. "The Enchanter is entertaining independent of its Lolita connection. It is arch, delicious and beautifully written." —Publishers Weekly

Films often act as a prism that refracts the issues facing a nation, and Turkish cinema in particular serves to encapsulate the cultural and social turmoil of modern-day Turkey. Acclaimed film scholar Gönül Dönmez-Colin examines here the way that national cinema reveals the Turkish quest for a modern identity. Marked by continually shifting ethnic demographics, politics, and geographic borders, Turkish society struggles to reconcile modern attitudes with traditional morals and centuries-old customs. Dönmez-Colin examines how contemporary Turkish filmmakers address this struggle in their cinematic works, positing that their films revolve around ideas of migration and exile, and give voice to previously subsumed “denied identities” such as that of the Kurds. Turkish Cinema also crucially examines how these films confront taboo subjects such as homosexuality, incest, and honor killings, issues that have only become viable subjects of discussion in the new generation of Turkish citizens. A deftly written and thought-provoking study, Turkish Cinema will be invaluable for scholars of Middle East studies and cinephiles alike.
