Publisher Description Poet and pervert, Humbert Humbert becomes obsessed by twelve-year-old Lolita and seeks to possess her, first carnally and then artistically, out of love, to fix once for all the perilous magic of nymphets. Is he in love or insane? A silver-tongued poet or a pervert? A tortured soul or a monster? Or is he all of these? Humbert Humberts seduction is one of many dimensions in Nabokovs dizzying masterpiece, which is suffused with a savage humour and rich, elaborate verbal textures.
