Duas Lolitas

"In the spring of 2004 Michael Maar published articles - first in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung and then in the Times Literary Supplement - pointing out striking similarities betweeen Vladimir Nabokov's classic novel, Lolita, and an earlier forgotten story (first published in 1916) by a largely forgotten German author and journalist, Heinz von Lichberg. Maar did not claim that Nabokov had plagiarised the piece, but suggested that the evidence did suggest some awareness on Nabokov's part of the precursor-story. It was a literary discovery that was widely reported and discussed."
