Lolita

Nabokovs Roman von 1955, der im prüden Amerika zunächst nicht erscheinen konnte (die amerikanische Ausgabe erschien erst 1958 und landete innerhalb von sechs Wochen auf Platz 1 der Bestsellerliste), entzieht sich jeder Einordnung: als Liebesgeschichte, Kriminalroman, Tragödie, Satire oder auch das genaue Gegenteil ist er analysiert worden (Nabokov verabscheute solche Fragestellungen). Offensichtlich gestattet der vielschichtige Roman ganz unterschiedliche Zugänge. Die Reclam-Ausgabe trägt dem Rechnung und bietet über die reinen Worterklärungen (die selber schon umfangreich genug sind) hinaus zahlreiche Hinweise zum Verständnis. Sie enthält, wie stets in der Roten Reihe, den ungekürzten Originaltext mit Nachwort und Literaturhinweisen.

Humbert Humbert er en middelaldrende og kræsen college-professor, der godt kan lide små piger og som er meget forelsket i Lolita. Han vil gøre alt for at få fat i hende. "Lolita" handler om Humbert Humbert og er skrevet af Vladimir Nabokov. Men er Humbert virkelig forelsket, eller er han bare sindssyg? Er han en stor poet eller en pervers gammel mand? Et monster eller en stakkels sjæl? Eller måske det hele. "Lolita" er en dramatisk roman om en mand, der er besat. En mand, der godt kan lide små piger og om samfundet.

Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is one of the best-known novels of the 20th century: the controversial story of Humbert Humbert who falls in love with twelve year old Lolita, beautifully repackaged as part of the Penguin Essentials range. 'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul. Lo-lee-ta: the tip of my tongue taking a trip of three steps down the palate to tap, at three, on the teeth. Lo. Lee. Ta.' Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged, frustrated college professor. In love with his landlady's twelve-year-old daughter Lolita, he'll do anything to possess her. Unable and unwilling to stop himself, he is prepared to commit any crime to get what he wants. 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?

Humber Humbert er en midaldrende og distræt professor. Der lyder som sådan meget normalt, men det er han bare ikke. For han er forelsket i sin værtindes 12-årige datter. Lolita hedder hun, og Humbert vil gøre alt hvad han kan for at vinde hendes kærlighed. Spørgsmålet er, om han er forelsket... eller sindssyg. "Lolita" er fortællingen om det særlige forhold mellem en mand og en lille pige. "Lolita" fra 1955 er skrevet af Vladimir Nabokov, og siden sin udgivelse har den bevaret status som litterær klassiker. Filmatiseringen fra 1962 instrueret af Stanley Kubrick, har ligeledes fået kultstatus.

' 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.

Lolita , der både er en af de mest berømte og mest kontroversielle romaner i det 20. århundrede, fortæller om den midaldrende intellektuelle europæer Humbert Humberts fatale erotiske besættelse af den 12-årige amerikanske nymfe Dolores. Det er historien om en tragisk og grufuld kærlighed fortalt med et både hjerteskærende og ætsende vid. Et studie i erotisk besættelse. Lolita udkom i 1955 i Paris, da intet amerikansk forlag ville udgive den, og samtidens anmeldelser var negative og fordømmende. Det var også de fleste af de danske anmeldelser, da den i den første udgave på et andet sprog udkom på dansk i 1957. Kun Tom Kristensen havde øje for romanens storhed: "Det mærkelige er imidlertid, at man begriber de to mennesker. Man frastødes af dem, ligesom man frastødes af hele emnet. Man drages af dem og af medlidenhed med dem. De udvikler sig konsekvent ... Men man må ikke læse denne roman alt for naivt. Der er dobbeltbund i den." – Tom Kristensen, Politiken Og siden fik anmelderne et andet syn på Lolita , og den kom på top 100-listen over det 20. århundredes bedste romaner: "Et mesterværk i den vestlige litteraturhistorie." – Politiken ❤❤❤❤❤❤ "Skamløs, kontroversiel, forførende, upassende, mesterlig og dybt moralsk i al sin amoral … Et af det 20. århundredes mest betydningsfulde værker." – Berlingske ★★★★★★ “Kombinationen af en sans for humor og en sans for rædsel [resulterer i] en satire af en helt særlig slags, hvor last og dårskab ikke betragtes med hån, men med dyb forfærdelse og en vis tragisk medfølelse … Den tilsvarende ironi giver både karaktererne og deres omgivelser en særlig intensitet af betydning, som kendetegner den højeste kunst.” – The New Yorker “Nabokov kan få dig til at le på den måde, som mestre formår – til en latter tæt på gråd.” – The Guardian "Den eneste overbevisende kærlighedshistorie fra vores århundrede." – Vanity Fair “Intenst lyrisk og vildt morsom.” – Time

Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in Lolita , Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov that addresses the controversial subject of hebephilia. The protagonist is a French literature professor who moves to New England and writes under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert. He details his obsession and victimization of a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he describes as a "nymphet". Humbert kidnaps and sexually abuses Dolores after becoming her stepfather. Privately, he calls her "Lolita", the Spanish diminutive for Dolores. The novel was written in English, but fear of censorship in the U.S. (where Nabokov lived) and Britain led to it being first published in Paris, France, in 1955 by Olympia Press.The book has received critical acclaim regardless of the controversy it caused with the public. It has been included in many lists of best books, such as Time's List of the 100 Best Novels, Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century, Bokklubben World Library, Modern Library's 100 Best Novels, and The Big Read. The novel has been twice adapted into film: first in 1962 by Stanley Kubrick, and later in 1997 by Adrian Lyne. It has also been adapted several times for the stage
