This novel was one of the best-known and most controversial books of the twentieth century. It is about Humbert Humbert, a widower, who had long-time obsession with nymphets. In New England, he rented a room in the house of Charlotte Haze, and he met his beloved—Dolores, known as Lolita. While Dolores was away at summer camp, Humbert married Charlotte in order to continue staying near Lolita. Soon Charlotte died in a car accident, so Humbert picked Lolita up from camp and started their trip. One morning, Lolita had sex with Humbert. Later, Humbert revealed to Lolita that Charlotte was dead, giving her no choice but to accept her stepfather or face foster faces. Finally, Lolita escaped from Humbert. Three years later, she wrote a letter to Humbert and told him she was married and pregnant and in desperate need of money. Humbert gave her a sum of money and left. He found Quilty, a guy who had abducted Lolita from him, and killed him.
