Lolita

Lolita is a novel about a middle-aged man, Humbert Humbert, who becomes obsessed with the 12-year-old Dolores Haze.

Humbert’s obsession with Lolita develops into a love as he tries to possess her. He becomes increasingly frustrated and desperate when she resists him and starts to date other men.

The novel also gave rise to a large number of films, plays and songs that are loosely based on it or use themes from it.
