Description
Lolita is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov. It tells the story of a man, Humbert Humbert, who becomes obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl, Lolita. Humbert tries to possess her sexually and artistically, but Lolita is not interested in him. Nabokov uses a variety of literary devices to create a dizzying masterpiece.
'Lolita, light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.' Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks 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 Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures.
