Lolita is a 1955 novel written by Russian-American novelist Vladimir Nabokov, notable for its controversial subject: the protagonist and unreliable narrator, a middle-aged literature professor under the pseudonym Humbert Humbert, is obsessed with a 12-year-old girl, Dolores Haze, with whom he becomes sexually involved after he becomes her stepfather. "Lolita" is his private nickname for Dolores. Lolita quickly attained a classic status, adapted into a film by Stanley Kubrick in 1962, and another film by Adrian Lyne in 1997, is one of the greatest work of the 20th century, and it has been included in several lists of best books. "Let all of life be an unfettered howl. Like the crowd greeting the gladiator. Don't stop to think, don't interrupt the scream, exhale, release life's rapture."
