Notes
Description
"One of the most controversial novels of the twentieth century, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita is a strange, troubling story told by the one of the most unreliable narrators in literature. Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, 'to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets'. Is he in love or insane? A silver-tongued poet or a pervert? A tortured soul or a monster? Or is he all of these? Humbert Humbert's seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures." -- c Publisher's website.
