Lolita = Лолита

Vladimir Nabokov is the author of many well-known works. But the novel "Lolita" brought Nabokov not only enormous royalties but also scandalous worldwide fame.
The response to the novel that emerged in the English press after its release in France in... 1955 and spread throughout the literary world was mixed. The behavior of the two main characters provoked fury and anger in some, while evoking sympathy and compassion in others. But for most readers, Humbert Humbert remained a dubious hero, and young Lolita a charming nymphet who crossed the boundaries of her maturation provocatively and rapidly.
The readers' interest in the novel "Lolita" has not waned for over half a century, nor has the debate regarding the self-sacrifice or perversions of the main characters.
We offer readers the complete version of the work in English.
