A story about this — 6 years ago
I first read Lolita when I was obsessed with the Russian language. Lost in the translation, perhaps, but I never experienced the sympathy for Humbert as I imagine I was supposed to. More bored. Certainly not scandalous in these times.

No translation to be lost in
It was actually written in English by Nakobov, and afterwards translated into Russian by himself.
