À propos de cet audio

The most famous and controversial novel from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century tells the story of Humbert Humbert’s obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze.

“The conjunction of a sense of humor with a sense of horror [results in] satire of a very special kind.”—The New Yorker

One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years

Awe and exhilaration—along with heartbreak and mordant wit—abound in Lolita, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsession for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America.

Most of all, it is a meditation on love—love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

Ce que les critiques en disent

One of TIME Magazine's All-Time 100 Novels

"Lolita blazes with a perversity of a most original kind. For Mr. Nabokov has distilled from his shocking material hundred-proof intellectual farce…Lolita seems an assertion of the power of the comic spirit to wrest delight and truth from the most outlandish materials. It is one of the funniest serious novels I have ever read; and the vision of its abominable hero, who never deludes or excuses himself, brings into grotesque relief the cant, the vulgarity, and the hypocritical conventions that pervade the human comedy." —The Atlantic Monthly

"Intensely lyrical and wildly funny." —Time

"The only convincing love story of our century." —Vanity Fair

Jeremy Irons absolutely slayed this. This is one of the best audiobook performances I’ve ever heard, if not the best.

As for the book itself, this was a surprise. I was prepared for something completely different. It was twisted, surely, but not how the reader may expect. An instant favorite and obvious classic.

Simply amazing

Definitely an intense story, but so well written and the reader did an amazing job. I can’t wait to read more work from this author, this is the book that got me back into reading.

Amazing.

I couldn't make it through Part 1 in book-form, so this was a great substitute -- Irons' narration creates enough of a buffer between you and the text to aid with discomfort re: the subject matter. The French pronunciation is good, it's very well written.

It's good

Lolita is a masterclass in writing, showing you the true power of words by using the narrative to draw you into sympathy with an unsettling, loathsome character. Nabokov hides nothing but spoon-feeds nothing--attention is required--but the book is rewarding and, while not traditionally moral, will make you think.

Beautifully Grotesque

It’s hard to review a book when this is its content. But it is a unique vision everyone should experience if they can. And the narration was amazing.

Don’t know what to say

Very good narration for this well written book.
I went through a myriad of emotions why I went on this journey with HH. If the subject matter isn't one that would cause you harm, I would recommend.

My only issue is the description of the novel. This is not a love story by any means.

Lovely and grotesque

Yes, the Narrator’s French is atrocious, but then he’s a Brit. It didn’t bother me to the point that I wouldn’t recommend this audiobook.
Great story- was hesitant when I read it was about a pedophile. I shouldn’t have been.
There’s a reason why this book is a classic.

Wow

Jeremy Irons is a gem!
Thorough enjoyed the novel and his performance.
One of the best literary works of the 20th century.

Brilliant

I am pretty sure I missed parts, I'm grateful if I did. long. gross. Very convincing that it's not fiction. I'd recommend it just because it does have effect and make you think, not because it's enjoyable or entertaining

can see why psychology classes exam this
