What is Lolita?

Lolita, also translated as Lolita, Lolita and Lolita, is the most widely circulated work of writer Vladimir Nabokov. Most of them are confessions of death row prisoner humbert, telling the love story of a middle-aged man and an underage girl. This novel was originally not allowed to be published in the United States, and was first published by Olympia Publishing House in Paris, Europe on 1955. The American version was finally published on 1958, and the work soared to the first place in the best-seller list of The New York Times. Lolita has been adapted into a movie.

The novel describes a middle-aged man, Humbert Humbert, who immigrated from France to the United States. In his youth, he had his first love with a girl, Annabel, who was 14 years old. Finally Annabel died of typhoid fever, which created the children I love in humbert's works. He defined "leprechaun" as "nine to fourteen years old". Humbert was first abandoned by a rich widow, and later fell in love with the landlord Charlotte Hai Zi 12-year-old daughter Lolita, calling her a leprechaun.

Due to the shadow of childhood, humbert could not extricate herself from Lolita. In order to get close to this precocious and enthusiastic little girl, humbert married his landlady and became Lolita's stepfather. The original name of the girl in the novel is dolores Harz, and the nickname pronounced in Spanish is Lolita or Lolita, so it is the title of the book.

Later, the landlady was very angry when she found out in her husband's diary that her husband was trying to cheat on her daughter, so she wrote three letters (which were later torn up by Heng, but according to the article, the content of the three letters was to express that her wife wanted to leave her husband for a period of time, and she would find a chance to get back together later to show her love for her husband), and she was killed by a car on the way. Humbert took Lolita out of the summer camp and traveled together. He thought that if he drugged Lolita's drink, he could flirt with her unconsciously. As a result, the drug has no effect on Lolita (because it is not really an effective sleeping pill). On the contrary, Lolita took the initiative to tease humbert the next morning and had an incestuous relationship. Humbert then told Lolita that her mother had died, so Lolita had no choice but to accept the fact that she had to live with her stepfather. Humbert took Lolita along the United States as a father and daughter. He used pocket money, beautiful clothes and delicious food to control Lolita and continue to satisfy his desire for her. When Lolita grew up, she began to hate her stepfather. She realized that "even the saddest family life is better than this incest". So she began to associate with boys of the same age and escaped her stepfather through a trip. At first, humbert searched frantically, but finally gave up.

One day three years later, humbert received a letter from Lolita, saying that she was married and pregnant and needed money from her stepfather. Humbert gave her $400 in cash and a check for $3,600, and the buyer paid $65,438+$00,000 in advance for the house. He asked Lolita to tell him who kidnapped her at that time. Lolita told him that she was Quilty (considered by the heroine as an oriental genius philosopher in her works) and a playwright in the school performance, and told him that after she and Quilty left, Quilty kicked her out because she refused Quilty's request to let her shoot pornographic movies with other boys. Humbert asked Lolita to leave her husband and go with him, but she was rejected, and humbert was heartbroken. He tracked down and shot Quidditch. In the end, humbert died of thrombosis in prison, while Lolita, 17 years old, died in childbirth at Christmas 1950.
