ВЛАДИМИР НАБОКОВ: Как РУССКИЙ аристократ написал ЛОЛИТУ и ШОКИРОВАЛ весь мир!

This biography of Vladimir Nabokov is the shocking story of how a refined Russian aristocrat wrote Lolita, the most scandalous novel of the 20th century, and forever changed world literature. He was an entomologist who adored butterflies and an intellectual who despised "vulgarity." But it was he who created the character of Humbert Humbert, a pedophile maniac, and made the world empathize with him. Was Lolita a profound philosophical novel about the nature of evil or a brilliant provocation that legitimized a taboo subject? This is the story of a book that was first banned and then hailed as the greatest work of the century. 00:00:00 — Introduction 00:01:34 — Public Perception 00:03:27 — Nabokov's Personal Experience 00:04:57 — Early Years and Family 00:07:50 — Childhood and Education 00:09:53 — Passion for Butterflies 00:10:47 — Revolution and Emigration 00:13:58 — Studying at Cambridge 00:15:21 — Moving to Berlin 00:16:15 — His Father's Murder 00:18:07 — Nabokov's Reaction 00:20:55 — Life in Berlin 00:23:49 — Marriage to Vera 00:26:36 — Nabokov's Novels 00:28:11 — Criticism and Poverty 00:30:28 — Emigration 00:31:44 — Nabokov's Emigration 00:32:40 — Working at the Museum 00:33:38 — Summer Trips and Inspiration 00:34:36 — Teaching at Cornell University 00:37:25 — Beginning Work on "Lolita" 00:41:54 — Rejection by Publishers and Publication in Paris 00:44:23 — Reaction to "Lolita" 00:45:23 — Bans and Popularity 00:46:24 — Scandal and Success of "Lolita" 00:47:16 — Commercial Success of "Lolita" 00:48:10 — Literary Recognition and Criticism 00:49:00 — The Nobel Prize and Public Opinion 00:50:20 — Life After "Lolita" 00:53:22 — Creative Life in Montreux 00:54:22 — Pale Fire and Ada 00:57:14 — The Last Years and Death 01:00:07 — Legacy and Memory 01:00:47 — Language as a Weapon 01:01:46 — The Defendant's Defense 01:02:46 — The Lolita Question 01:03:44 — The Memory of Nabokov 01:04:07 — The Frozen Question
