Always conceived of as shocking but also a brilliant satire, Humbert the serial fantasist continues to entice readers and lead Lolita to both fame and infamy

Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged, fastidious college professor. He also likes little girls. And none more so than Lolita, who he'll do anything to possess. 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?

Praise for Lolita

He did us all an honour by electing to use, and transform, our language.

Anthony Burgess

Nabokov can move you to laughter in the way that masters can - to laughter that is near to tears.

The Guardian

There's no funnier monster in modern literature than poor, doomed Humbert Humbert.

The Independent
