Lolita

Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is a dark and daring story of obsessive love and transgression.

Humbert Humbert’s lust for his pubescent step-daughter, Lolita, shocked readers when it was first published in the 1950s; yet the novel was also celebrated for its beautifully lyrical writing.

Almost fifty years after its first publication, Lolita remains a powerful tale of perversion and love gone wrong.
