About this listen
Lolita is a novel by Vladimir Nabokov, first published in 1955. The novel tells the story of a middle-aged man named Humbert Humbert, who becomes sexually obsessed with a 12-year-old girl named Dolores Haze, whom he calls "Lolita". Humbert becomes Dolores's stepfather and takes her on a cross-country road trip, during which their relationship becomes increasingly intense and destructive. The novel is known for its controversial subject matter and Nabokov's masterful use of language and intricate narrative structure. Despite the difficult subject matter, Lolita has become a classic of 20th-century literature and is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of all time.
