"She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock. She was Lola in slacks. She was Dolly at school. She was Dolores on the dotted line. But in my arms she was always Lolita..." Humbert Humbert is a 40-year-old„ sophisticated college professor in the grip of an obsession tor 'nymphets' — demon-girls poised on the brink of worldly experience. When he meets 1 2-year-old Dolores Haze, his heart soars, his passion throbs and his life starts speeding towards destruction. Rapturous, riddling, blackly comic and written in a prose that sings and scorches, Lolita is the book that scandalised a generation, and seduces every new one.
