Ключи к "Лолите" by Carl R. Proffer

Карл Проффер (1938 - 1984) - известный американский литературовед - славист, основатель легендарного издательства `Ардис`, публикующего произведения русской литературы на Западе, - много сделал для изучения и популяризации творчества В. Набокова. Его книга `Ключи к `Лолите` (1968) show more стала первым детальным исследованием самого известного романа русско - американского классика. Проффер подробно рассматривает многочисленные литературные аллюзии, на которых строится `Лолита`, анализирует стилистические приемы Набокова и с наблюдательностью литературного сыщика расследует детективные хитросплетения сюжета. Лишенный излишнего академизма, труд К. Проффера, впервые переведенный на русский язык, будет интересен как старым почитателям, так и новым читателям Набокова.
