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.

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.
I looked and looked at her, and knew as clearly as I know I am to die, that I loved her more than anything I had ever seen or imagined on earth ,..I insist the world know how much I loved my Lolita,this Lolita,pale and polluted,and big with another's child,but still gray-eyed..I would go mad with tenderness at the mere sight of her dear wan face..“我望着她，望了又望。一生一世，全心全意，我最爱的就是她，可以肯定，就象自己必死一样肯定…苍白、混俗、臃肿，腹中的骨肉是别人的。但我爱她…她可以褪色，可以枯萎，怎样都可以。但我只望她一眼，万般柔情，便涌上心头......”.

因为Graham Greene一口气看完这本书之后惊叹道书竟然还能这么写，所以我才决定看一下这个人尽皆知的故事的原著。真的很惊艳！引发争议的故事情节不过是个展现作者机智幽默和细腻文笔的载体，这么多年人们津津乐道的不伦之恋完全是重点错。但是对于无法一口气读完的我来说，每次读下去都觉得是一种昨日的重复，前朝贵公子的这种才华绝对能让他成为托尔斯泰作品里每场社交晚宴必争的座上宾，可惜他只能通过写作来抖包袱... 因为Graham Greene一口气看完这本书之后惊叹道书竟然还能这么写，所以我才决定看一下这个人尽皆知的故事的原著。真的很惊艳！引发争议的故事情节不过是个展现作者机智幽默和细腻文笔的载体，这么多年人们津津乐道的不伦之恋完全是重点错。但是对于无法一口气读完的我来说，每次读下去都觉得是一种昨日的重复，前朝贵公子的这种才华绝对能让他成为托尔斯泰作品里每场社交晚宴必争的座上宾，可惜他只能通过写作来抖包袱了，而现代读者不再是无所事事的有闲阶级，无法被脱离现实的包袱持续感染。 (展开)

2019年的夏天（2019年的夏天，，）兴高采烈地开始读了十几页就大脑停止工作了，从此任何Nabokov都不愿再碰；现在其实我很喜欢，虽然感觉不是很赞同这个cast但是好像很自然把脸真的代成铁的了；喜欢描述东西的方式，喜欢所有的细节，我原来以为我讨厌descriptive东西但是喜欢这个；这或许是一种美国公路和过于明亮的夏天和一些很好的句；更多的不知道说什么了，有精确日期的死亡

It is Nabokov's mordant wit I enjoy.
