Exhilarating, appallingly funny, and hauntingly sad, Lolita is Vladimir Nabokov's most famous and controverscial novel, a twentieth century classic whose character's names have become synonymous with the outrages and degradations of obsessive passion. For when the aging emigre Humbert Humbert falls in love with the precocious nymphet Dolores Haze, all the ruls - of dsire, decency, and literature - are broken. Lolita has the power to shock, challenge, and enrapture anyone who listens to this masterful performance by Academy Award-winning actor Jeremy Irons.

Work Description
Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov. The novel is notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert, is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, whom he sexually molests after he becomes her stepfather. "Lolita" is his private nickname for Dolores. The novel was originally written in English and first published in Paris in 1955 by Olympia Press. Later it was translated into Russian by Nabokov himself and published in New York City in 1967 by Phaedra Publishers.
