Часть текста: nothing better to do. On the other hand, I was urged by a war-time university in New York to complete my comparative history of French literature for English-speaking students. The first volume took me a couple of years during which I put in seldom less than fifteen hours of work daily. As I look back on those days, I see them divided tidily into ample light and narrow shade: the light pertaining to the solace of research in palatial libraries, the shade to my excruciating desires and insomnias of which enough has been said. Knowing me by now, the reader can easily imagine how dusty and hot I got, trying to catch a glimpse of nymphets (alas, always remote) playing in Central Park, and how repulsed I was by the glitter of deodorized career girls that a gay dog in one of the offices kept unloading upon me. Let us skip all that. A dreadful breakdown sent me to a sanatorium for more than a year; I went back to my workonly to be hospitalized again. Robust outdoor life seemed to promise me some relief. One of my favorite doctors, a charming cynical chap with a little brown beard, had a brother, and this brother was about to lead an expedition into...

Часть текста: которого жизнь была лишь “возмущением” раттнертерологического порядка вещей – от nertoros, не от terra). Ван Вин [как, на свой скромный манер, и издатель “Ады”] любил переменять жилище в конце каждой части, главы или даже абзаца, – он уже почти разделался с трудоемким куском книги, касающимся отделения времени от его содержимого (такого, как воздействие на материю в пространстве и природа самого пространства), и подумывал перебраться на Манхаттан (подобные переключения отражали скорее его духовную рубрикацию, чем уступку некоему фарсовому “влиянию среды”, столь любезному Марксу-отцу, популярному сочинителю “исторических” пьес), когда неожиданный дорофонный звонок отозвался мгновенной встряской как в большом, так и в малом кругах его кровообращения. Никто, даже отец, не знал, что Ван купил недавно пентхауз Кордулы, расположенный между Манхаттанской библиотекой и Парком. Помимо того, что здесь прекрасно работалось – в ученом уединении этой висящей в пустыне неба террасы с шумным, но удобным городом, плещущим внизу о подножие неприступной скалы его разума, – квартира олицетворяла то, что на модном жаргоне именовалось “прихотью холостяка”, он мог по своему усмотрению тайком ублажать здесь любую девицу или девиц. (Одна из них называла это жилище “твое крыло а terre”.) Впрочем, давая Люсетте дозволение посетить его в тот яркий ноябрьский послеполуденный час, он все...

Часть текста: bathrooms, the result of two apartments having been recently fused. The sequence is: kitchen, living-dining room, my wife's room, my room, a former kitchenette now full of my papers, and our son's former room, now converted into a study. The apartment is! cluttered with books, folders, and files. What might be termed rather grandly a library is a back room housing my published works, and there are additional shelves in the attic whose skylight is much frequented by pigeons and Alpine choughs. I am giving this meticulous description to refute a distortion in an interview published recently in another New York magazine-- a long piece with embarrassing misquotations, wrong intonations, and false exchanges in the course of which I am made to dismiss the scholarship of a dear friend as "pedantry" and to poke ambiguous fun at a manly writer's tragic fate. Is there any truth in the rumor that you are thinking of leaving Montreux forever? Well, there is a rumor that sooner or later everybody living now in Montreux will leave it forever. Lolita is an extraordinary Baedecker of the United States. What fascinated you about American motels? The fascination was purely utilitarian. My wife used to drive me (Plymouth, Oldsmobile, Buick, Buick Special, Impala-- in that order of brand) during several seasons, many thousands of miles every season, for the sole purpose of collecting Lepidoptera-- all of which are now in three museums (Natural History in New York City, Comparative Zoology at ...

Часть текста: She did not see the wistful joke. Oh, d not scowl at me, reader, I do not intend to convey the impressin that I did not manage to be happy. Readeer must understand that in the possession and thralldom of a nymphet the enchanted traveler stands, as it were, beyond happiness.   For there is no other bliss on earth comparable to that of fondling a nymphet. It is hors   concours  , that bliss, it belongs to another class, another plane of sensitivity. Despite our tiffs, despite her nastiness, despite all the fuss and faces she made, and the vulgarity, and the danger, and the horrible hopelessness of it all, I still dwelled deep in my elected paradisea paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flamesbut still a paradise. The able psychiatrist who studies my caseand whom by now Dr. Humbert has plunged, I trust, into a state of leporine fascinationis no doubt anxious to have me take Lolita to the seaside and have me find there, at last, the “gratification” of a lifetime urge, and release from the “subconscious” obsession of an incomplete childhood romance with the initial little Miss Lee. Well, comrade, let me tell you that I did   look for a beach, though I also have to confess that by the ...
