Title: Lolita Author: Vladimir Nabokov Narrator: Jeremy Irons Format: Unabridged Length: 11 hrs and 32 mins Language: English Release date: 09-26-05 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6034 votes Genres: Classics, World Literature Publisher's Summary: Awe and exhilaration, along with heartbreak and mordant wit, abound in this account of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. But most of all, it is a meditation on love - as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation. Critic Reviews: " Lolita is an authentic work of art which compels our immediate response and serious reflection, a revealing and indispensable comedy of horrors." ( San Francisco Chronicle) "Language is essential to Lolita, and Mr. Irons captures Humbert's voice perfectly. In the Random House audiobook, he read the novel with a sensitivity to the language that conveys all of Nabokov's humor, passion, and lyricism." ( The New York Times) "Jeremy Irons...commands the text with the grand sense of character and palpable eroticism it requires.... The combination of Nabokovs prose and Ironss performance carries listeners out of a seat of judgment into Humberts pure admiration for and desire to possess that archetypical fire-energy of a young girl. This horrifyingly beautiful story of wild obsession truly comes alive in this audiobook production." ( AudioFile)
