| | Lolita - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | German academic Michael Marr's book The Two Lolitas (ISBN 1844670384) describes his recent discovery of a 1916 German short story titled "Lolita" about a middle-aged man traveling abroad who takes a room as a lodger and instantly becomes obsessed with the young pre-teen girl (also named Lolita) who lives in the same house. | | | Humbert Humbert's double name recalls Poe's "William Wilson", a tale in which the main character is haunted by his doppelgänger, paralleling to the presence of Humbert's own doppelgänger, Clare Quilty. | | | In 1956, Nabokov penned an afterword to Lolita ("On a Book Entitled Lolita") that was included in every subsequent edition of the book. |

| | Lolita |
| | To describe Lolita and other alluring young girls, Humbert coins the word "nymphet." The word has two derivations: the first from the Greek and Roman nature spirits, who were usually pictured as beautiful maidens dwelling in mountains, waters, and forests; the second from the entomologist's term for the young of an insect undergoing incomplete metamorphosis. | | | This resemblance is one of the reasons that Lolita finds her mother's boarder attractive, and we are reminded of it later on when Humbert believes for a brief time that Quilty may be his uncle Trapp. | | | Before Humbert actually beds his nymphet, there is an extraordinary scene, at once rhapsodic, repulsive, and hilarious, in which Humbert excites himself to sexual climax while a (presumably) unaware Lolita wriggles in his lap. |

| | the poerotic novel |
| | Lolita is perhaps one of the most disturbing novels in this century: it tells the a priori immoral story of a middle-aged man who falls madly in love with a twelve-year-old girl, a nymphet as he calls her, and who has sexual relations with her for two years. | | | Lolita is no longer a vulgar little flirt but the archetypal seductress and temptress, Eve in the Garden of Eden. | | | The poetic element is not a simple alibi but the novel’s raison d’être so that the reader willingly surrenders to the fascination of the text and even agrees, temporarily at least, to suspend his moral judgment in order to draw the greatest poetic pleasure from his reading. |

| | Lolita isn't a love story and it isn't a cautionary tale. | | | Lolita is about an older man falling in love with a young girl. | | | More fun is Martin Amis' foreword to the Everyman's Library edition, which juggles humor (I think I stole that road-buddy line from him) and insight -- he zeroes in on Nabokov's contempt for and honest portrayal of cruelty in the novel. |

| | While it is often argued that Lolita lacked the moral basis to be considered a good girl, she was far from the evil it takes to attempt murder (as Fisher did). | | | Lolita would reach its most powerful grip on society in 1962 with the release of Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of the story, with partial scripting from Nabokov himself. | | | Humbert is every man who is driven by desire, wanting his Lolita so badly that it never occurs to him to consider her as a human being, or as anything but a dream-figment made flesh" (Boyd p3). |

| | Lolita (1962) |
| | The black humor and dramatic story of juvenile temptation and perverse, late-flowering lust was centered on a pubescent nymphet and a mature literature professor in an aura of incest. | | | Lolita (1962) was Stanley Kubrick's sixth film - a brilliant, sly adaptation of Vladimir Nabokov's celebrated yet controversially-infamous 1955 novel of a middle-aged man's unusual, doomed sexual passion/obsession for a precocious, seductive "nymphet" girl. | | | The tale unfolds therefore, in a flashback told like a black comedy and murder mystery that both embellish the unusual 'love' story with occasional reappearances throughout the narrative of the protagonist's alter-ego. |

| | Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov |
| | Lolita, light of so many lives, fire of so many loins, has become so much more than merely the book Nabokov wrote. | | | "Lolita is a markedly original book, with dozens of brilliant comic passages in it: but (James Branch Cabell's) Jurgen may serve as a cautionary tale to those critics who in their worthy wish to attack the rigidities of modern censorship have been deceived into calling it a great novel." - | | | And, while Kubrick's atmospheric film conjures up something (and Lyne's absolutely nothing), Nabokov's prose is so rich and his presentation so carefully thought-through that the book proves superior to the films at every turn. |

| | The disgusting brilliance of Lolita. By Stephen Metcalf |
| | Lolita, meanwhile, tells the story of a stepfather serially defiling his adolescent stepdaughter. | | | It lies in what Nabokov called the "nerves of the novel," the "secret points, the subliminal coordinates by means of which the book is plotted." In these, Nabokov has hinted at the life that exceeds the perimeter of Humbert's encompassing obsession—at the inner lives of those others whom he so casually dismisses or destroys. | | | We are clearly meant to regard Humbert as a moral abomination, and even Humbert eventually concedes (it is one of the book's most beautiful and unforgettable passages) that in exploiting Lolita he has gratuitously destroyed another human being. |

His contrition and his guilt do not help to free him from his bondage, though. | | | 'Lolita' has become a recognizable word in the English language, having taken up a life of its own, with ever widening connotations and rarely if ever a reference to its literary progenitor. | | | He remains enslaved to the end, a victim of his weakness: "I know I am in paradise," he murmurs in self-acknowledgment of his sorry plight, "surrounded by the flames of hell. |

| | The desperate truth of Lolita's story is not the rape of a twelve-year-old by a dirty old man but the confiscation of one individual's life by another. | | | An earlier novella, written in Russian and published only after his death -- The Enchanter -- centers on a jeweler who hangs around playgrounds and forces himself into gruesome sex and marriage with a vachelike mother, all for the sake of witnessing her death and then possessing and enjoying her twelve-year-old daughter. | | | Hamlet refers to Ophelia as a nymph ("Nymph, in thy orisons, be all my sins remembered"), but she is of marriageable age, whereas a nymphet is another thing altogether. |

Lolita is the story of Humbert's romance—if that's the word, which it isn't—with a 12-year-old girl named Dolores Haze. | | | Our hero, who goes by the self-mocking name of Humbert Humbert, is a pedophile. |
