Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, 'to fix once and for all the perilous magic of nymphets, Is he in love or insane ? A tortured soul or a monster ? Humbert Humbert's fixations is one of many dimensions in Nabokov's dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich elaborate verbal textures. Filmed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962, and again in 1997 by Adrian Lyne, Lolita has lost none of its power to shock and awe.
