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.

Impressive

This is a well written book. The vocabulary, the linguistic are incredible. However, the content is complex and uncomfortable.

There are moments, it is impossible to believe in Humbert’s words about Lolita.

For a reader who enjoys good texts, it is mandatory.
