La historia de la obsesión de Humbert Humbert, un profesor cuarentón, por la doceañera Lolita es una extraordinaria novela de amor en la que intervienen dos componentes explosivos: la atracción «perversa» por las nínfulas y el incesto. Un itinerario a través de la locura y la muerte, que desemboca en una estilizadísima violencia, narrado, a la vez con autoironía y lirismo desenfrenado, por el propio Humbert Humbert. "Lolita" es también un retrato ácido y visionario de los Estados Unidos, de los horrores suburbanos y de la cultura del plástico y del motel. En resumen, una exhibición deslumbrante de talento y humor a cargo de un escritor que confesó que le hubiera encantado filmar los picnics de Lewis Carrol.

«Ningún amante ha pensado en su amada con tanta ternura, ninguna mujer ha sido tan embelesadamente evocada, con tanta gracia y delicadeza, como Lolita» (Lionel Trilling).

«La obra más satisfactoria –quizá la única satisfactoria– de la literatura erótica que haya leído... Mientras nuestro siglo entra en sus años finales, la última carcajada puede ser la mejor de todas: la Gran Novela Americana fue escrita por un ruso» (Alan Levy).

«Entre las más sutiles y complejas creaciones literarias de nuestro tiempo. Lo cual no significa, por cierto, que no sea un libro provocador» (Mario Vargas Llosa).

Work Description

Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The novel is notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert, is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he sexually molests after he becomes her stepfather. "Lolita" is his private nickname for Dolores. The novel was originally written in English and first published in Paris in 1955 by Olympia Press. Later it was translated into Russian by Nabokov himself and published in New York City in 1967 by Phaedra Publishers.
