Lolita by Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov RO
RussiaDescription:
Poveste a iubirii obsesive si blestemate a lui Humbert Humbert pentru nimfeta Dolores Haze, capodopera lui Vladimir Nabokov a fost, pe rind, carte interzisa, roman scandalos, obiect de cult, pentru a deveni apoi un roman clasic al secolului XX.

Roman de atmosferă şi de „de analiză” a sentimentului, Lorelei este o „contopire de poem şi basm”, în care naraţiunea psihologică de actualitate întîlneşte tradiţia mitologică a roma... continue
