P. The novel was first written in English and published in 1955 in Paris, later translated by the author into Russian and published in 1967 in New York.

The novel is both internationally famous for its innovative style and infamous for its controversial subject: the books narrator and protagonist Humbert Humbert becoming sexually obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl named Dolores Haze.After its publication, the novel attained a classic status, becoming one of the best known and most controversial examples of 20th century literature. The name "Lolita" has entered pop culture to describe a sexually precocious young girl.The novel has been adapted to film twice, once in 1962 by Stanley Kubrick starring James Mason as Humbert Humbert, and again in 1997 by Adrian Lyne, starring Jeremy Irons.Plot summaryLolita is a prison memoir, narrated by Humbert Humbert (a pseudonym), a Swiss "salad of racial genes", a scholar of literature, born in 1910 in Paris, France and raised in his fathers Riviera hotel after his young mother is killed (picnic, lightning). Humbert is tormented by a passion for what he calls nymphets (sexually desirable but very young girls), which he postulates was set in motion by his failure to consummate an affair with a childhood seaside sweetheart, Annabel Leigh, before her premature death from typhus. After a ridiculously failed marriage with the lumpen Valechka, who leaves him for a White Russian emigre, Humbert leaves Paris for New York shortly before the start of World War II, during which he writes a textbook of French literature. In 1947 he moves to Ramsdale, a small New England town, to write. He rents a room in the home of Charlotte Haze, a widow, but only after first seeing her twelve-year-old daughter Dolores (Dolly, Lolita, Lola, Lo, L) sunbathing in the garden.
