SYNOPSIS
''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

REVIEWS
Provocador, Controverso, Brilhante
Vasco Mendes
"Lolita" é uma obra-prima provocante que mergulha destemidamente nas profundezas da obsessão e da depravação. A prosa de Nabokov tece uma narrativa de atração perturbadora, exibindo as complexidades do desejo humano e a escuridão que reside no seu interior. Embora o tema controverso do romance possa ser perturbador, não se pode negar o seu brilhantismo literário e a exploração da psique humana
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Vladimir Nabokov
Escritor norte-americano de origem russa, nascido em 1899 e falecido em 1977, exilou-se com a família na Inglaterra, França e Alemanha. Neste último país, escreveu, em russo, a primeira parte da sua obra literária, de entre a qual se destaca Mashenka e Glória.
Em 1940 partiu para os Estados Unidos da América, adquirindo a nacionalidade americana em 1945. Começou a escrever em inglês, mantendo, nas obras deste período, o fundo fantástico, a visão irónica da vida quotidiana e a mestria formal que já havia demonstrado, e almejou levar a cabo um retrato da sociedade norte-americana através das suas convenções culturais e posturas perante o sexo.
São dignas de nota as narrativas: "Invitation to a Beheading", "The Real Life of Sebastian Knight", "Lolita", um grande êxito editorial transposto para o cinema por S. Kubrick e cujo argumento se baseia nos amores de um homem adulto por uma adolescente, "Pale Fir", Pnin, Ada; or Ardor: A Family Chronicle" e "Speak Memory".
