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.

With scholar, aesthetician and questionable protagonist Humbert Humbert as your guide, prepare to be taken on a journey through your own morality as you are swayed into supporting his obsession for his pre-teen love Dolores. As gripping as it is controversial, Lolita still manages to divide readers 70 years later. - Samuel (QBD)
