Nabokov's Lolita remains one of the most complex and controversial novels of the 20th century, a dark and layered narrative exploring obsession, manipulation, and unreliable narration. The story is told through the voice of Humbert Humbert, a cultured European intellectual whose twisted fixation on the twelve-year-old Dolores Haze—whom he nicknames Lolita—drives the plot through seduction, guilt, justification, and evasion. A landmark work in postmodern literature, the novel is as much about language and memory as it is about its disturbing subject matter, filled with Nabokov’s linguistic virtuosity and layered irony.
