Synopsis "Vladimir Nabokov Lolita (Penguin Modern Classics) (in English)"

One of the most controversial novels of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is a strange, troubling love story told by the one of the most unreliable narrators in literature. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an afterword by Craig Raine.Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, out of love, 'to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets'. Is he in love or insane? A silver-tongued poet or a pervert? A tortured soul or a monster? Or is he all of these? Humbert Humbert's seduction 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 starring James Mason and Peter Sellers, and again in 1997 by Adrian Lyne starring Jeremy Irons and Melanie Griffith, Lolita has lost none of its power to shock and awe.'Lolita is comedy, subversive yet divine ... You read Lolita sprawling limply in your chair, ravished, overcome, nodding scandalized assent'Martin Amis, Observer

Vladimir Nabokov nació en San Petersburgo en el seno de una familia de la aristocracia en 1899, pero su trayectoria familiar primero, y luego sus inquietudes personales, lo llevaron a Alemania, Inglaterra, Francia y Estados Unidos, donde inició una brillante carrera como poeta, novelista, crítico y traductor, a la vez que enseñaba Literatura en varias universidades de prestigio. Sus novelas Mary (1926), Rey, dama, valet (1928), La defensa (1930), Gloria (1932), Risa en la oscuridad (1933), Desesperación y La dádiva (ambas de 1934), Invitado a una decapitación (1938), El ojo (1937), El hechicero (1939), La verdadera vida de Sebastián Knight (1941) y Ultima Thule (1942) precedieron el éxito monumental de Lolita (1955) que le permitió abandonar la enseñanza y consagrarse por entero a su vocación de escritor. Después llegaron Pnin (1957), Pálido fuego (1962), Ada o el ardor (1969), Cosas transparentes (1972), ¡Mira los arlequines! (1974). Entre sus obras de no ficción cabe destacar su autobiografía Habla, memoria (1951) y ensayos literarios como Nikolai Gögol (1944) o sus cursos de literatura europea, sobre el Quijote o sobre la literatura rusa. En 1961 se trasladó a Suiza, donde murió en 1977. En 2009, su hijo Dmitri accedió a la publicación de su novela inacabada, El original de Laura.
