Lolita
'Lolita is comedy, subversive yet divine' Martin Amis, Observer Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, 'to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets'. Is he in love or insane? A tortured soul or a monster? Humbert Humbert's fixation is one of many dimensions in Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures. Filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962, and again in 1997 by Adrian Lyne, Lolita has lost none of its power to shock and awe. 'There's no funnier monster in literature than poor, doomed Humbert Humbert' Independent
Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita
Eight reprinted essays, mostly from the 1990s, examine various facets of the Russian exile's 1955 novel that has raised literary, legal, and religious hackles since it was first published. Also included is a 1967 interview with Nabokov by Herbert Gold. There is no index. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
Lolita - The Story of a Cover Girl
What should Lolita look like? The question has dogged book-cover designers since 1955, when Lolita was first published in a plain green wrapper. The heroine of Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel has often been shown as a teenage seductress in heart-shaped glasses--a deceptive image that misreads the book but has seeped deep into our cultural life, from fashion to film. Lolita - The Story of a Cover Girl: Vladimir Nabokov's Novel in Art and Design reconsiders the cover of Lolita. Eighty renowned graphic designers and illustrators (including Paula Scher, Jessica Hische, Jessica Helfand, and Peter Mendelsund) offer their own takes on the book's jacket, while graphic-design critics and Nabokov sch...

Lolita
“Kisah cinta paling meyakinkan sepanjang zaman.” —Vanity Fair Lolita adalah novel indah yang abadi. Lolita bahkan dianggap sebagai salah satu novel terbaik sepanjang masa oleh para kritikus. Begitu populernya kisah ini hingga sempat dua kali difilmkan. Sempat dilarang beredar di Amerika Serikat, novel ini hingga kini terus diperbincangkan orang dan menjadi buku laris di berbagai negara. Lolita berkisah tentang pengakuan seorang profesor setengah baya bernama Humbert Humbert yang terobsesi dengan seorang gadis remaja, Dolores Haze—sang Lolita. Untuk bisa berdekatan dengan Dolores, Humbert menikahi ibu gadis itu. Setelah sang ibu tewas dalam sebuah kecelakaan, Humbert membawa anak tirinya berkelana mengelilingi Amerika Serikat, menikmati cinta terlarang dengan segala manis getirnya. Kisah ini menjadi indah antara lain karena kepiawaian Vladimir Nabokov dalam melukiskan nuansa psikologis tokoh-tokohnya, terutama sosok Lolita yang kenes dan Humbert yang berkepribadian rumit. Di atas segalanya, novel kontroversial ini adalah kisah luar biasa tentang kekuatan cinta. “Satu di antara tiga novel paling berpengaruh di dunia.” —Time
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (Book Analysis)
Unlock the more straightforward side of Lolita with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, which is the enthralling and disturbing tale of Humbert, a man in his forties, who falls in love with a young girl, soon becoming her stepfather and taking advantage of this position to pursue a vastly unsettling romance with her and fulfil his illicit desires. Lolita is regarded as one of the prime achievements in 20th century literature, though also among the most controversial, and its assimilation into popular culture is such that the name ‘Lolita’ has been used to imply that a young girl is sexually precocious....
Chasing Lolita
In the summer of 1958, a 12-year-old girl took the world by storm--"Lolita" was published in the United States--and since then, her name has been taken in vain to serve a wide range of dubious ventures, both artistic and commercial. Offering a full consideration of not only "the Lolita effect" but shifting attitudes toward the mix of sex, children, and popular entertainment from Victorian times to the present, this study explores the movies, theatrical shows, literary spin-offs, artifacts, fashion, art, photography, and tabloid excesses that have distorted Lolita's identity with an eye toward some real-life cases of young girls who became the innocent victims of someone else's obsession--unhappy sisters to one of the most affecting heroines in fiction. New insight is provided into the brief life of Lolita and into her longer afterlives as well.
Lolita
Ainsi donc, aucun de nous deux n'est en vie au moment où le lecteur ouvre ce livre. Mais tant que le sang continue de battre dans cette main qui tient la plume, tu appartiens autant que moi à la bienheureuse matière, et je puis encore t'interpeller d'ici jusqu'en Alaska. Sois fidèle à ton Dick. Ne laisse aucun autre type te toucher. N'adresse pas la parole aux inconnus. J'espère que tu aimeras ton bébé. J'espère que ce sera un garçon. J'espère que ton mari d'opérette te traitera toujours bien, parce que autrement mon spectre viendra s'en prendre à lui, comme une fumée noire, comme un colosse dément, pour le déchiqueter jusqu'au moindre nerf. Et ne prends pas C.Q. en pitié. Il fallait choisir entre lui et H.H., et il était indispensable que H.H. survive au moins quelques mois de plus pour te faire vivre à jamais dans l'esprit des générations futures. Je pense aux aurochs et aux anges, au secret des pigments immuables, aux sonnets prophétiques, au refuge de l'art. Telle est la seule immortalité que toi et moi puissions partager, ma Lolita.
