📖 À propos Lolita
Lolita est un double diminutif espagnol de Dolores (dolor, 'douleur'), lui-même un prénom dévotionnel tiré de 'Notre-Dame des Douleurs' ; prénom parfaitement banal dans la culture hispanique pendant plus d’un siècle, ses connotations anglophones ont été irrémédiablement transformées par le roman de Nabokov (1955) — mais en Espagne et en Amérique latine il reste un choix chaleureux et affectueux.
