Lolita

Author: Vladimir Vladimirovich Nabokov

“Lolita” by Vladimir Nabokov is a haunting and controversial tale that delves into the mind of Humbert Humbert, a literature professor with a disturbing obsession for his twelve-year-old stepdaughter, Dolores Haze, whom he nicknames Lolita. Nabokov’s masterful prose and dark humor make this a compelling read, despite its unsettling subject matter. I found myself both repelled and fascinated, unable to put it down, questioning morality and the power of manipulation.

Look at this tangle of thorns.
