Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is a provocative novel written with brilliant linguistic maturity and deep psychological insight. The main character is Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged man whose life is marked by his passion for a girl named Lolita. His emotional and erotic turmoil clashes with morality, society, and his own worldly and internal conflicts. This love story, full of contradictions and taboos, explores the boundaries between love and obsession, childhood and adulthood, purity and guilt.
