Lolita: Vladimir Nabokov

Humbert talks about how there are two kinds of visual memory. One when you skillfully recreate an image in the laboratory of your mind, with your eyes open, and the other when you instantly evoke, with your closed. Humbert states that he does not have a picture of Annabel that was memorable as he does of Lolita. Humbert also discusses about a nymphet. This a particular type of girl that he is drawn to and she is between the agesvod nine and fourteen. He describes this type of love by making references to historical and cultural events of romance and marriages between adolocent girls and older men. Thus the older guy is under the nymphet's spell. In order for the magic to work there must be a gap of sereval years between the underage girl and the older men, generally ten years apart.
