Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977), born in St Petersburg, exiled in Cambridge, Berlin, and Paris, became the greatest Russian writer of the first half of the twentieth century. Fleeing to the US with his family in 1940, he then became the greatest writer in English of the second half of the century, and even 'God's own novelist' (William Deresiewicz). He lived in Europe from 1959, and died in Montreux, Switzerland. All his major works - novels, stories, an autobiography, poems, plays, lectures, essays and reviews - are published in Penguin Modern Classics.
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.

雖然不諳法語,還是花瞭一個晚上翻《法漢大詞典》讀完法文最多的那兩頁。
评分我覺得這是單相思的愛情啊
评分小仙女。我的心,我的喉,我的五臟六腑,我把我的感情寶杖交給她給她抓在她笨拙的掌中。
评分inscrutable, twisted, incest relations; deep, understandable, beautiful love
评分這舊大陸的literati,陰暗,扭麯,品嘗過無法想象的快樂。豐盈的細節伸齣火舌。有一次穿緊身褲在自習教室裏讀PartOne,受到殘酷壓迫的隱微快感,H.H.自我摺磨的微縮版本,啊,魔鬼得到喂養。PartTwo, “The fog of all lust had been swept away leaving nothing but this dreadful lucidity.”
