Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov

Cloth; Used. Fine. Dust Jacket: Near Fine. Vladimir Nabokov. Classics. First Edition/First Printing, 1955.

“Awe and exhilaration--along with heartbreak and mordant wit--abound in Lolita, Nabokov's most famous and controversial novel, which tells the story of the aging Humbert Humbert's obsessive, devouring, and doomed passion for the nymphet Dolores Haze. Lolita is also the story of a hyper-civilized European colliding with the cheerful barbarism of postwar America. Most of all, it is a meditation on love—love as outrage and hallucination, madness and transformation.”
