Маленькая дурно написанная книга о том, как мужчина мечтает изнасиловать девочку, которая младше его на 30 лет. Сбивчивый псевдообразный язык (который тут и близко не стоит с лучшими книгами автора, вроде «Приглашения на казнь») неумело пытается замаскировать бессюжетный поток педоэротических фантазий. Все мы знаем, каким прекрасным может быть Набоков, эта же книжка показывает, что так бывает не всегда. Лучше бы так и оставалось в неизданном. ( ) Racconto scritto nel 1939 in russo, è un primo esperimento di Nabokov nell'avvicinarsi al tema poi trattato in Lolita (1955). Ma le differenze sono molte, soprattutto nel modo in cui lo sguardo di chi narra si posa sul protagonista, nei confronti del quale la riprovazione morale - vestita di ironia e di una scrittura splendidamente ellittica ed elusiva - si dirige nettamente fin dalla prima pagina. Un caballero de posición acomodada, atormentado por los interrogantes que le plantean sus inclinaciones eróticas, se enamora un día de una niña de doce años a la que conoce por casualidad en los jardines de una gran ciudad europea. Incapaz de contener sus impulsos, el caballero decide acercarse a la niña casándose con su madre, una viuda cuyo estado de salud ofrece serias dudas. I don't often add notes to goodreads but if you, like me, are browsing your library shelves for some Russian authors and you innocently pick up The Enchanter you might also be taken completely by surprise in that it's about an old guy who likes little girls. Gah! It totally gave me the heeby jeebies (technical term that) but the writing is amazing. I'm happy to be done with this one but I'll be immediately on to some more Nabokov...hoping fervently for no creepy old guys (and dutifully avoiding Lolita). geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Nabokov described this novella, written in Paris in 1939 but only published twenty years later, as 'the first little throb of Lolita'. The plot is similar: a middle-aged man wedding an unattractive widow in order to indulge his paedophilic obsession with her daughter. However, The Enchanter has an utterly different atmosphere, as time, place and even names remain a mystery. Nabokov transforms his protagonist's attempts to lull his twelve-year-old step-daughter into a state of 'enchantment' into a graceful, chilling fairytale. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
