Güzel kitap ... tüm değerlendirmeleri doğru. Yazar, orada oturuyormuş gibi hissettiren harika bir hikaye anlatma stiline sahiptir ve kafanızda zaman zaman zarif ve acı verici ve diğerlerinde neşeli olan canlı görüntüler uyandırır. Anlatıcı, klişelerin yazılı olarak yazarlar için büyük bir hayır olarak kullanıldığından bahseder, ancak onun için kitap boyunca kullandığı ifadelerdir. Klişeler hikayenin kendisi gibidir .. kendini tamamlayan çevrelerde koşar ... tüm kayıp uçlarını kapatır ve her şeyin bir anlamı vardır, ki bu sıkıcı bulabilir, ama bir şekilde yaptığı gibi her şeyi doğru bir şekilde bir araya getirir.
This is the dark story of Humbert Humbert and his obsession with the young "Lolita." Humbert, from an early age, exhibits unusual proclivities, namely the sexual, hungering desire for very young girls -- "nymphets." They're not necessarily very pretty or bright, but to HH, they exude an aura of come-hither disingenuity that he finds impossible to turn away from. Dolores Haze (Lolita) is such a girl and through a series of accidents, finds herself in the inescapable grasp of this desperate older man. Nabokov, you did it again. I read a series of your delectable short stories a few months ago and thus I turned to Lolita in eager anticipation. I am not disappointed. Despite its extremely disturbing plotline, Nabokov draws you in with the seductiveness of his language. Each sentence is so rich, it's like biting into a particularly succulent apple...you know the kind. I went back and read certain sentences over and over, simply for the sheer visceral pleasure they gave me. And because his writing was so forceful...it made the outre plotline that much more vivid and disturbing. Reading into HH's almost painful honesty made me squirm but also hunger for more...to delve into the mind of such a man who was capable of such atrocities.
The paperback version is something like 900 pages but what a great beach read. Definitely read Outlander first; but more Jamie is always a good thing. Of course, this is a "middle" book and what does happen is usually in flashback, and Claire and Jamie are apart for most of it.
