Lolita
by Vladimir Nabokov
Lolita is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published in 1955. The book is notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert, is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he nicknames 'Lolita'. The novel is a complex exploration of obsession, manipulation, and the nature of love and lust.
