Literaricum Lech
18.07 TO 21.07
10:00 O'CLOCK
"For the fourth time, the Literaricum in Lech from July 18 to July 21, 2024 will be dedicated to a classic of world literature: in 2024, "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov will be the starting point for the reflections on the mountain. A book that was first banned, later enjoyed enormous success and made the Russian author instantly world-famous. - A masterpiece of confusion and at the same time one of the greatest misunderstandings in 20th century world literature. "Lolita" is the story of Humbert Humbert, who contemplates his morbid desire for 12-year-old Dolores/Lola/Lolita from his prison cell. A monstrous character with whom the great writer Nabokov seduces readers in a highly refined and artful literary way, despite their moral reservations. When Nabokov was once asked what he had to say in defense of his scandalous novel, he said: "The moral defense of the book is the book itself!" Today, reading it is more shocking than ever - and is in urgent need of rehabilitation.
With Nora Bossong, Philipp Hübl, Raoul Schrott, Elisabeth Bronfen, Thomas Sarbacher and many more."
