Poet and pervert, Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and sees to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, out of love, "to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets". This seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabocov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures.

Nabokov's Lolita was originally published in 1955 and immediately became embroiled in its own censorship battles. The story is admittedly, purposefully, a shocking one: Humbert Humbert, an emigrй academic, has a thing for young girls. Nymphets, he calls them, prepubescent girls who betray some precocious awareness of their own sensuality. Upon accepting a position at a new college, Humbert rents a room in town and falls madly, passionately, horrifyingly in love with his landlady's 12-year-old daughter, Dolores Haze, the Lolita of the novel's title.
