Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov)
Lolita, classic book by the Russian Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) was and is provocative… suffice it to say that it is the story of an adult man falling in love with a pre-teen girl.
Nabokob, it is good to remember, fled the Revolution of 1917, when he was only 18 years old. The book, written in English, by a controversial author who liked butterflies and chess, has history and elegance capable of making it a best seller.
