Book Review

Vladimir Nabokov's "Lolita" is a work that evokes conflicting feelings and opinions among critics and readers. On one hand, the novel is admired for its exquisite language, richness of metaphors, and depth of psychological analysis. Nabokov masterfully conveys the inner world of the main character, Humbert Humbert, and his obsession with the twelve-year-old girl Lolita. On the other hand, the theme of pedophilia and the moral aspects provoke rejection and criticism. Some critics believe that Nabokov romanticizes and justifies Humbert's criminal actions, while others see the book as a profound exploration of human nature and tragedy. In any case, "Lolita" remains one of the most discussed and significant works of the 20th century, continuing to spark debate and draw attention to Nabokov's literary mastery.
