Lolita

The most famous and controversial novel from one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century tells the story of Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Awe and exhilaration—along with heartbreak and mordant wit—abound in Lolita. Most of all, it is a meditation on love—love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.
