Lolita

by Vladimir Nabokov

Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group | March 13, 1989 | Trade Paperback

Awe and exhiliration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in Lolita, Nabokov''s most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert''s obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hypercivilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love--love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.

A Classic!

Beautiful, alluring and enticing this book is a love story in its own right.

It's shocking nature and honest text makes one thoroughly involved in the lives of Humbert and his precious nymph.

As the father of a young girl, some friends have thought that I would find this book unnerving. But it has been just the opposite. Taken into context it is an astounding piece of work. It is both cunningly edgy as well as incredibly sad.
