Vladimir Nabokov N ovelista estadounidense de origen ruso, poeta y crítico, considerado como una de las principales figuras de la literatura universal. Nabokov nació el 23 de abril de 1899, en San Petersburgo, en el seno de una familia de la aristocracia. En 1919, la familia abandonó el país para escapar de la Revolución Rusa.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) - pen name Vladimir Sirin Russian-born American novelist, critic, and acknowledged lepidopterist. Nabokov wrote both in Russian and English. His best-known novel, LOLITA (1955), shocked many people but its humor and literary style were praised by critics. The first version of the story, VOLSHEBNIK (The Enchanter), was written in 1939 in Paris. The Enchanter centered on a middle-aged man, who falls in love with a 12-year-old girl and marries her sick, widowed mother to satisfy his erotic desires. He molests the girl in a Riviera hotel while she's asleep, she wakens and he runs into the traffic and dies. "Between the age limits of nine and fourteen there occur maidens who, to certain bewitched travelers, twice or many times older than they, reveal their nature, which is not human, but nymphic (that is, demoniac); and these chosen creatures I propose designate as "nymphets." (from Lolita Vladimir Nabokov was born in St. Petersburg into a wealthy, aristocratic family. His father, Vladimir Dimitrievich Nabokov, was a liberal politician, lawyer, and journalist. The household was Anglophile - Nabokov spoke Russian and English, and at the age of five he learned French. Nabokov received his education at the Tenishev, St. Petersburg's most innovative school. At 16 he inherited a large estate from his father's brother, but he did not have much time to enjoy his wealth. During the Russian Revolution his father was briefly arrested. The family emigrated to Berlin and Nabokov entered Trinity College, Cambridge, from where he graduated in 1923. Vladimir Dimitrievich was murdered in Berlin in 1922 by a Russian monarchist.

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." -

Entrevista a Vladimir Nabokov Nabokov en 1923 "En mayo de 1975, coincidiendo con la publicación en Francia de Ada o el ardor, Vladimir Nabokov , uno de los novelistas más famosos e importantes del siglo XX, aceptó la invitación de Bernard Pivot, y acudió al programa "Apostrophes", uno de los más influyentes de la televisión francesa. La presencia de Nabokov en el plató era un hecho doblemente excepcional: por la calidad indiscutible del programa y porque Nabokov muy raramente concedía entrevistas." -De acuerdo. -1922 y 1939. -Ya. -Soy pedante con las fechas -risas- (Sonrisas) -"Nabokov es Lolita", es la ecuación de siempre. ¿No acaba molestándole el éxito de Lolita, tan considerable que se puede pensar que usted es el padre de una única niña algo perversa? Nabokov en 1971 -Lolita no es una niña perversa. Es una pobre niña que corrompen, y cuyos sentidos nunca se llegan a despertar bajo las caricias del inmundo señor Humbert, a quien una vez pregunta: "¿Siempre viviremos así haciendo toda clase de porquerías en camas de hotel?" Pero respondiendo a su pregunta: Su éxito no me molesta. Yo no soy Conan Doyle quién, por esnobismo o pura estupidez, prefería ser conocido como autor de una historia de África

31. Vladimir Nabokov: A Who2 Profile vladimir nabokov. . Writer/Lepidopterist. vladimir nabokov's novel Lolita was so controversial that it went unpublished in http://www.who2.com/vladimirnabokov.html

VLADIMIR NABOKOV Writer/Lepidopterist Vladimir Nabokov's novel Lolita was so controversial that it went unpublished in America for three years after it was first presented in France in 1955. Nabokov left his native Russia after the 1917 revolution that overthrew Nicholas II , then lived in England and Germany before moving to the United States in the 1940s. A poet, translator, novelist and internationally recognized lepidopterist (butterfly expert), Nabokov taught at Cornell University from 1948 until 1959. Lolita created a firestorm of criticism due to its subject matter: "the affair between a middle-aged sexual pervert and a twelve-year-old girl" is how The Atlantic Monthly described it in a favorable 1958 review. The novel's obsessive protagonist, Humbert Humbert, and the manipulative nymph Lolita have become famous characters in 20th-century literature. The financial success of Lolita allowed Nabokov to devote his time to writing, and he settled in Switzerland, where he continued to write novels and study butterflies. Extra credit : Lolita was first published in Paris by the obscure Olympia Press in 1955, then finally published in the U.S. by Putnam in 1958... Movie versions of

35. A Contrapuntal Theme Quotations from vladimir nabokov and Dorothy Sayers reflect one another in a pattern suggesting (as in John Shade's remarks in Pale Fire) life after death. http://m759.freeservers.com/2001-03-05-contrapuntal.html

A Contrapuntal Theme by Steven H. Cullinane on March 5, 2001 In Nabokov's Pale Fire (1962) a poet, John Shade, has a vision during a near-death experience. He later reads an article about a woman who had the same near-death vision, of a "tall white fountain." He contacts the article's author, hoping to find out more about this evidence of life after death, but finds that the word "fountain" was a misprint. Shade writes: He took his article from a steel file: "It's accurate. I have not changed her style. There's one misprintnot that it matters much: Mountain, not fountain. The majestic touch." Life Everlastingbased on a misprint! I mused as I drove homeward: take the hint, And stop investigating my abyss? But all at once it dawned on me that this Was the real point, the contrapuntal theme: Just this: not text, but texture; not the dream But topsy-turvical coincidence, Not flimsy nonsense, but a web of sense, Yes! It sufficed that I in life could find Some kind of link-and-bobolink, some kind Of correlated pattern in the game.... The Maker's Gift by Steven H. Cullinane on December 10, 1990

36. NABOKOV By Mary Gaitskill. http://www.salon.com/12nov1995/feature/nabokov.html

Click Here Search Archives Contact Us Table Talk ... Investors My Inspiration: Vladimir Nabokov Sorcerer of cruelty By MARY GAITSKILL I n an interview, Vladimir Nabokov was once asked to comment on the popular authorial truism that one's fictional characters can sometimes "take over" and dictate to the author the course of a story. In his supercilious dismissal of this whimsical idea, Nabokov described his characters as "galley slaves" a comment exuding the playful, haughty spirit that drove (and still drives) some critics nuts. Such critics condemn Nabokov's authorial voice as elitist, inhuman and finally cruel. And that is an assessment his "slaves" might well agree with, subjected as they were to excruciating and ridiculous fates delineated in exquisite language and sparkling, albeit twisted, comic narratives. To a reader with a defensive turn of mind who is waiting to be told how to live or to be shown the Truth in a piece of fiction, the ruthless and rigorous complexity of Nabokov's work may seem cruel simply because it does not offer either of these services. Some readers apparently interpret the very beauty of his prose as cruel and there is a hyper-refinement, an airy, curiously high-pitched quality to its beauty that can feel cruel simply because it throws the whole beastly, mundane, plodding corporeality of human beings into such grotesque relief. Through this Apollonian oeuvre there frolic countless tiny nymphets most famously, Lolita Haze, with her dim eyes and big, bright mouth, her narrow-shouldered, hipless, insouciant grace. And therein also stump Mrs. Haze and her 30-ish sisters, with their gross emotional needs, their dumpy legs, their ghastly hips and boobs, the unbeautiful human personified with a fastidious shudder.

37. Images - Hitchcock/Nabokov Essay from Images Journal by James A Davidson comparing the work of the director with the Russian author. http://www.imagesjournal.com/issue03/features/hitchnab1.htm

Some Thoughts on Alfred Hitchcock and Vladimir Nabokov by James A. Davidson I t is a tendency of criticism to try to shed light on the work of one artist by comparing and contrasting that artist's work to that of another. Alfred Hitchcock, for instance, is usually mentioned in the same breath with Cornell Woolrich, the literary 'master of suspense,' at least partly due to the fact that Hitchcock did such a memorable job bringing Woolrich's novella to the screen as Rear Window Lolita in 1962 based on Nabokov's screenplay). Alfred Appel, Jr. has described the world of Nabokov's novels as "Nabokov's Puppet Show," emphasizing the author's masterful control of artifice and imagination ; so too has recent Hitchcock criticism focused the director's uncanny ability to assert a strong authorial voice throughout virtually all of his films. Thus, it is not surprising that Hitchcock envisioned himself playing the emotions of his audience in a movie theater on a giant organ just as Nabokov, the puppet master, pulled the strings in his novels so brilliantly. I believe Nabokov's complex word play, parodic self-references and manipulation of language is the literary equivalent to Hitchcock's well-known mastery of "the language of cinematic images," which he discussed frequently in interviews. While there were vast differences between the lives of Hitchcock and Nabokov, there were also some profound similarities that I feel shed some light on their careers and work. To begin with, Hitchcock and Nabokov came from substantially different backgrounds. Hitchcock's father was a London wholesale grocer and young Alfred grew up in a stable but distinctly middle class home. Nabokov's father was an intellectual, a member of Russia's ruling class and part of the provisional government first established after the revolution. Vladimir Nabokov grew up in a privileged environment that stressed academics (a colleague of Nabokov's father wrote of the baby Vladimir: "I had the impression that this would be an extremely abnormal upbringing in fatally over-abundant circumstances")

A giudicare dalle isteriche reazioni causate dalla nuova versione cinematografica (la prima, firmata da Stanley Kubrick, risale al 1962) in patria ed anche da noi, i tempi non sono poi troppo cambiati: la pedofilofobia imperante ha generato intolleranza fino al punto da voler mettere la mordacchia a chiunque voglia trattare certi temi.

40. Filmempfehlung »Lolita« (1997) Kurze Besprechung einer gelungenen Verfilmung des Romans von vladimir nabokov. http://www.beilharz.com/qs/qs-lolita.htm

Quickshot - Schnellschuss vom 03.11.2001 Quickshot-Index Filmempfehlung »Lolita« – eine gelungene Literaturverfilmung Filmtitel: Lolita Jahr der Veröffentlichung: Regie: Adrian Lyne Buch: Stephen Schiff Literarische Vorlage: Vladimir Nabokovs Roman Lolita von 1955 Hauptdarsteller: Jeremy Irons (Humbert Humbert), Dominique Swain (Lolita), Melanie Griffith (Charlotte Haze), Frank Langella (Clare Quilty) Humbert Humbert (J. Irons) und Lolita (D. Swain) Nabokovs Buch, das wegen des skandalösen Themas der obsessiven sexuellen Beziehung eines erwachsenen Mannes zu einer Minderjährigen zunächst von keinem amerikanischen Verlag angerührt worden war, wurde schließlich in Paris von Olympia Press herausgebracht, fand aber erst Beachtung, als der britische Schriftsteller Graham Greene es als einen der drei besten Romane von 1955 pries. In der Folge entwickelte sich das Werk zu einem Bestseller mit einer Auflage von mittlerweile über 14 Millionen, das seinem ältlichen Autor (1899-1977) Weltruhm und finanzielle Unabhängigkeit brachte. Eine erste Verfilmung erschien 1962 (Regie Stanley Kubrick, Buch von Nabokov und Kubrick, Hauptdarsteller James Mason, Sue Lyon, Shelley Winters und Peter Sellers); dieser Film ist mir nicht bekannt. Was den Film – genau wie das Buch – auszeichnet, ist die beklemmende und anrührende Darstellung einer Beziehung zweier Menschen, die ganz eindeutig nicht füreinander bestimmt sind und die trotzdem eine übermächtige Faszination verbindet. Lolita ist zwar letztendlich Opfer, laviert sich jedoch durch ziemlich eindeutige Koketterie, Faszination am Spiel mit dem Feuer und auch Genuss von Machtausübung in eine langwierige Hassliebesbeziehung hinein, der sie erst durch einen Pakt mit einem weit perverseren Zeitgenossen (dem pädophilen Schriftsteller Clare Quilty) entkommt – Austreibung des Teufels durch Beelzebub.
