Lolita (Spanish Edition)
La historia de la obsesion de Humbert Humbert, un profesor cuarenton, por la doceanera Lolita, es una extraordinaria novela de amor en la que intervienen dos componentes explosivos: la atraccion perversa por las ninfulas y el incesto. Un itinerario a traves de la locura y la muerte, que desemboca en una estilizadisima violencia, narrado, a la vez con autoironia y lirismo desenfrenado, por el propio Humbert Humbert. Lolita es tambien un retrato acido y visionario de los Estados Unidos, de los horrores suburbanos y de la cultura del plastico y del motel. En resumen, una exhibicion deslumbrante de talento y humor a cargo de un escritor que confeso que le hubiera encantado filmar los picnics de Lewis Carrol. / The story of Humbert Humbert, a teacher in his forties, and his obsession with twelve year old Lolita is an extraordinary novel of love in which two explosive components intervene: his perverse attraction to nymphets and the issue of incest. This is a journey through madness and death resulting in stylized violence, narrated with irony and lyricism by Humbert Humbert himself. Lolita is also an acerbic and visionary portrait of the United States and its suburban horrors, and of motel and plastic culture.
