Features: This book is the masterpiece of Russian-American writer Vladimir Nabokov. A intellectual who cannot forget his first love, he remains devoted to young girls in adulthood, viewing them as innocent little fairies. After meeting the twelve-year-old girl Lolita, he becomes infatuated with her and goes to great lengths to obtain Lolita's stepfather's identity to be with her. Behind this seemingly morally dubious plot lies the protagonist's kind heart. In the end, he bears the name of a murderer for this relationship.
