Humbert Humbert, a middle-aged professor, becomes obsessed with Dolores Haze, a twelve-year-old girl he calls Lolita; to get close to her he marries her mother and ends up travelling across the country with the girl. The novel, narrated in the first person by Humbert, mixes comedy and elaborate verbal games in the confession of that obsession.
