A psychologically penetrating, deeply uncomfortable study of obsession and moral corruption told from the perspective of an unreliable, self-deluding predator.
Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged British novelist who is both appalled by and attracted to the vulgarity of American culture. When he comes to stay at the boarding house run by Charlotte Haze, he soon becomes obsessed with Lolita, the woman's teenaged daughter.
