Hey Lolita
Nabokov’s Lolita is simply an incredible book. Humbert Humbert is infatuated with ‘nymphets’; oddly beautiful girls aged 9-14. Upon arriving in the United States, he lodges with Charlotte Haze; he takes the lodging after spotting Charlotte’s nymphet daughter Delores (Lolita). In order to stay close to Delores he weds Charlotte, who is in love with him. Due to tragic circumstances sometime later, Humbert claims Delores and the duo embark on an extensive road trip across the states.
The voice of humbert is so intriguing – Nabokov has created a narrator that is depraved, yet intelligent and somehow sympathetic. His depravity and awful behavior is often forgotten or ignored because of Humbert’s incredible wit, charm, taste and physical beauty; Humbert Humbert is successful in gaining sympathy and amity for his narrative is magnificent and loaded with intellectual and cultural references that are often both smart and humorous.
Due to Nabokov’s eloquent, intelligent and much layered prose, Lolita is one of the greatest, most tragic yet strangest love stories of all time. Nabokov’s Lolita (1955) is frequently cited as among his most important novels and is his most widely known, exhibiting the love of intricate word play and synesthetic detail that characterised all his works. The novel was ranked at 4 in the list of the Modern Library 100 Best Novels.
