Reissue of one of the best-known novels of the 20th century - the controversial story of Humbert Humbert who falls in love with twelve year old Lolita

‘You can always count on a murderer for a fancy prose style.’

Humbert Humbert, a European intellectual adrift in America, is a middle-aged college professor. Haunted by memories of a lost adolescent love, he falls outrageously (and illegally) in lust with his landlady’s twelve-year-old daughter Dolores Haze. Obsessed, he’ll do anything, will commit any crime, to possess his Lolita.

But once Lolita belongs to Humbert, once he has got what he wants, what next? And what of Lolita? How long is she willing to be possessed?
