“Keys to Lolita” (1968) is the first detailed study of the most famous novel by Vladimir Nabokov. Its author, young American Slavist Karl Proffer, three years after the release of the book, together with his wife Ellenda, founded the Ardis publishing house and discovered Russian writers who were not printed in the Soviet Union, the path to the reader. The analysis of “Lolita”, he writes easily and even jokingly, emphasizing that he only offers his observations regarding the style and techniques of “Lolita”, as well as “Keys to some ... puzzles” of the novel. And yet it was with his work, highly appreciated by Nabokov himself, a deep study of the works of the famous writer began.
The translators of the “Keys” brilliantly coped with the difficult task: not only to maintain the spirit and style of the study, but also to find in the author’s version “ Lolita ”accurate correspondence to many comparisons on which it is built. The only one of its kind experience in studying one of the best novels of the 20th century infects the enthusiasm of the discoverer and encourages to immediately read it again
