Why Lolita is the Most "Dangerous" Book Ever Written

Описание: Is it a love story, or is it a horror story disguised as poetry? Vladimir Nabokov’s "Lolita" is perhaps the most controversial book of the 20th century. While often cited for its "scandalous" plot, the true genius of the novel lies in its manipulation of the reader.

In today’s Audiobook Academy breakdown, we are dissecting this literary titan. We explore how Nabokov uses the most beautiful language imaginable to trick you into sympathizing with a monster—and why the book is actually a warning about the power of obsession and the "Unreliable Narrator."

🎭 What You’ll Discover in This Summary:
